Abstract
Thorium was extracted at pH 5.0 from 0.01 M malonic acid on a column of silica gel coated with Amberlite LA-1. Thorium was separated from alkali and alkaline earths, managenese, iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc, tin, in binary mixtures by taking advantage of the difference in the pH of formation of malonato complexes. Thorium was separated from zirconium, uranium, scandium, molybdenum, titanium, by exploiting the difference in the stability of malonato complexes. The method was extended for the analysis of thorium in monazite.
