Separation of $Cd^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ by means of their coprecipitation on $BaTiO(C_2O_4)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ precipitate

Barium titanyl oxalate which is a precursor of barium titanate has been precipitated at pH 4~5 by a rapid addition of aqueous titanyl oxalate solution to artificial environmental water samples containing equivalent weight of ions. Quantitative recoveries of and from the water samples has been confirmed and found to be usable as a possible method of preconcentration for their determination.
