Abstract

THE use of mono-functional ion-exchange resins with strongly acidic or basic groups provides an extremely simple and rapid technique for the determination of the ionic charge of an anion or cation in aqueous solution. The method has the further advantage of being applicable to solutions containing only very small concentrations of the unknown ion.
