Abstract

Ion-exchange chromatography is a versatile method of separation and concentration which is applicable to many kinds of analysis, inorganic, organic, and biochemical. The experimental technique is simple and in most cases fairly rapid. In the great majority of inorganic applications, all that is needed is a tube about 25 cm long and 1 cm i.d., constricted at one end, with a glass wool plug or sintered disc to support a column of exchanger some 15 cm high. A typical ion-exchange column used for analytical purposes is shown in Fig. 1. Obviously, the column can be scaled up or down according to sample size. A common mistake is to use a column that is too large. Gravity flow is generally sufficient with a convenient linear flow rate of 1–2 cm/min. There are a few simple details that should be noted for efficient column operation. One of these is that the ion-exchanging material should be packed as uniformly as possible, and that the column should not be allowed to drain or to accumulate air bubbles during use. The column should always be kept filled with liquid. If the granules of exchanger are sufficiently fine (100–200 mesh or finer) this presents no problem, as surface tension prevents the level of water from dropping more than a couple of millimeters below the top of the bed. (The solvent may, of course, not be water, as mentioned in Section 5.)
