Séparation chromatographique inorganique sur papier à l'échelle du microgramme - Aluminium, Uranium, Fer.

Microgram paper chromatography has been successfully used to separate Aluminum, Uranium, Iron. The use of a developing solvent different from the saturation one is favourable to the spot separation. Spots show only very slight differences with concentration up to 100 micrograms. Development is achieved in about 75 to 175 minutes according to the saturation contamination from the developing solvent. Elution and polarographic determination are quantitative on 50 micro grams of uranium and reproducible to -4%. Aluminum and iron have been previously studied4. This separation contrasts for its simplicity and automatism with the difficult chemical procedure for these same cations. This problem is full of interest on this account, and also for its metallurgical point of view. Contaminations of metallic uranium through traces of aluminum and iron are often encountered and very detrimental to its metallurgical quality. An extension of this microscale procedure to the macroscale would enable to prepare very pure uranium salts as well as metal. © 1951 Springer-Verlag.
