Abstract
THE great usefulness and versatility of chromatography for qualitative separation of metals have been shown recently in a number of reports. So far, much less work appears to have been published on the quantitative possibilities of the method. Lacourt et al.1 have described the determination of aluminium, iron and titanium separated on paper strips using colorimetric procedures for the final estimation. Burstall and his colleagues2 have employed cellulose columns for the analysis of alloy steels; in the same paper the separation of gold from the metals of the platinum group is mentioned, and the possibility of other quantitative separations is foreshadowed. Using thick strips of filter paper, Anderson and Lederer3 have recently separated thallium quantitatively from other metals.
