The purpose of this study was to develop a separation method of Zn(¥±), Cu(¥±) and Mg(¥±), by ion exchange chromatography using cation exchange resion (Dowex 50w¡¿8, 80-100 mesh) and anion exchange (Amberlite IRA-400). Ion exchange resions were packed into 25 ¡¿ 2cm ID column and flow rate was controlled to 0.30 ml/min. Good eluents for separation of nonferrous metal ions such as Zn(¥±), Cu(¥±), Mg(¥±) were as follow: 0.5M NaNO3 (pH 3.1), 0.2¡0.5M HCl + 50¡60% Acetone, and 1M HAc + 0.1M NaAcf(pH 3.7) aqueous solution. The mixed solution of 0.1M NaAc(pH 3.7), 0.5M HCl + 50% Acetone were found to be the best eluent for step elution. Analysis of metals were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In addition, separated Zn(¥±) fraction was obtained by eluted with 0.12N HCl and 1.5N NH4OH aqueous solution. This solution was titrated by the E. D. T. A.
