Abstract
We made a study on the electromigration of ion-exchange papers (filter papers impregnated with pulverized ion-exchange resins), and found that the effect of ion-exchange adsorption exerted some influence on the electromigration behavior of ions.
The ion-exchange papers used for this study were Amberlite SA- 2 and WA- 2 which were conditioned as usual. The apparatus to be used for paper electrophoresis was used, and the mobilities of Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions were measured at constant voltage.
It is expected that the present method can be applied to the practical separation of ions and give some information for the mechanism of interaction between ion-exchange resins and these ions.
The result of ionic mobilities in ion-exchange papers agreed with that observed in ion-exchange membrane electrodialysis.
