“…In particular, metal chelating resins and immobilized (adsorbed or chemically bonded) chelates have found widespread application for the concentration and/or separation of trace metals from a variety of matrices . Dimethylglyoxime (2), alkylamines, diamines, xanthates, and dithiocarbamates (3)(4)(5)(6), propylenediamenetetraacetic acid (7), n-butylamides (8), N-substituted hydroxylamine (9), hexylthioglycolate (10), ferroin-type chelating agents (11), iminodiacetate (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA), amidoxime (12), dithizone (13,14), and 8hydroxyquinoline (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) have all been immobilized on various substrates. Tailoring chemically bonded chelating agents to specific needs allows the use of selective or general concentration schemes and also permits the "recycling" of the chelating agent.…”
