Inorganic Paper Chromatography and Detection of Cations by Fluorescence

Abstract

THE importance and potentialities of the paper chromatographic separation of inorganic cations have already been indicated by recent communications of Linstead1 and Lederer2. In this laboratory we have been working along similar lines, but with the object of finding general methods of separation and identification, rather than specific methods for two or three ions. Such a scheme has obvious advantages in qualitative analysis.
