Small amounts of lithium were separated from large amounts of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions. The separation was performed by a cation exchange chromatographic method. Amberlite IR‐120 was used as cation exchanger and a mixture of methanol (9 volumes)‐hydrochloric acid (1 volume) was employed as eluent. The separation was quantitative, lithium was eluted first and the effluents containing lithium were free from other cations. In the effluent, lithium was determined by a flame photometric procedure.
