“…To utilize the aluminosilica sensor for the extraction of 2 ppm Pd(II) from a mixture of elements including (1) 4.0 ppm K + , (2) 4.5 ppm Li + , (3) 5.0 ppm Ca 2+ , (4) 4.5 ppm Mg 2+ , (5) 4.0 ppm Cr 6+ , (6) 4.0 ppm Al 3+ , (7) 5.0 ppm Cu 2+ , (8) 4.5 ppm Ni 2+ , (9) 4.5 ppm Mn 2+ , (10) 4.5 ppm Zn 2+ , (11) 4.0 ppm Co 2+ , (12) 4.0 ppm Cd 2+ , (13) 4.0 ppm Pb 2+ , (14) 4.0 ppm Hg 2+ , (15) 3.5 ppm Fe 3+ , (16) 4.0 ppm Bi 3+ , (17) 3.5 ppm Sb 3+ , (18) 4.0 ppm Mo 6+ , and (19) 4.0 ppm Se 4+ , we carried out removal assays in an overall volume of 1000 mL, pH 3.5, and in the presence of a masking agent of a 0.3 M mixture of sodium citrate/thiosulfate/tartrate. About 40 mg of the solid sensor was added to the mixture, which was stirred for 3 h. To quantitatively determine the efficiency of Pd(II) ion extraction, the optical solid sensors and filtrate solution were analyzed by UV/vis-NIR and ICP-OES.…”
