Application of MnO 2 Resin and Dowex 1X8 manganese dioxide impregnated resin for the separation of chromium from biological samples

MnO2Resin and Dowex 1X8 manganese dioxide impregnated resin was used for chromium separation from biological samples. We examined sorption of chromium from acid solutions: hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric in concentration range from 0.01 to 2 mol/dm3. The sorption process was evaluated by batch and column experiments. We also examined sorption of other elements in the developed systems, to check the selectivity of the process. Determination of chromium by radiochemical neutron activation analysis after separation with MnO2Resin was described.
