The applicability of selective ion exchangers for the removal of palladium(II) from solutions of copper(II), nickel(II), aluminium(III) salts, hydrochloric acid, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids as well as a mixture of hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride has been studied by frontal analysis. The best results were obtained in the purification of copper(II) and nickel(II) salts on Chelite S with functional thiol groups, Duolite ES-346 with functional amidoxime groups and Lewatit TP-214 with functional thiourea groups. A decrease of palladium(II) content below 5 × 10 −5 % was obtained in the process of purification of macroquantities of these salts. In addition, these ion exchangers possess a considerable ion-exchange capacity (e.g. 3.18 mequiv. Pd/g for Lewatit TP-214) and a high resistance to mineral acids.
