Abstract

The chromatographic behaviour of eight metal ions has been studied on mixture of laboratory prepared Urea formaldehyde and Starch as adsorbent layers using acidic and organic mobile phase. Starch and Urea formaldehyde are found to be more effective for the binary and ternary separation of metal cations. The effect of mobile phases were also studied on the retention behaviour of metal cations on various mixture of urea formaldehyde and starch as adsorbent layers.
