Miceller chromatographic method for the separation of heavy metal ions and spectrophotometric estimation of UO22+ on bismuth silicate layer

Acetone was found to be most effective additive at 10% concentration with 5% Tween-80. This method successfully applied to identification and separation of Cd2, Hg2 and Co2 from river water and industrial wastewater. Semiquantitative as well as spectrometry techniques was used for quantitative analysis of UO22+ in river water with preliminary separation from Fe3 and Cu2. Maximal recovery of 90% observed. This TLC method is rapid, with development times averaging 2-5 min.
