Separation of Lithium by Ion Exchange Chromatography
The separation was performed by a cation exchange chromatographic method. Amberlite IR-120 was used as cation exchanger and a mixture of methanol (9 volumes)-hydrochloric acid (1 volume) was employed as eluent. The separation was quantitative, lithium was eluted first and the effluents containing lithium were free from other cations.
