Abstract:In this paper, the conditions of separation and enrichment of trace amounts of molybdenum with 717 type anion exchange resin column have been studied. A method of spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum in copper concentrates and tailings is proposed. At pH 7.5, molybdenum in MoO42- was separated and enriched by the ion exchange resin, then eluted by 2 mol/L HNO3 +0.5 mol/L NH4NO3 mixture solution, which eliminated most of the interference from coexisting ions. The detection limit of the method was 5.6 μg/L. The method was successfully used to determine trace amounts of molybdenum in real samples with RSD of 2.2 % and the recovery between 96.2 % and 105.7 %.The results obtained by this method are in good agreement with those obtained by ICPAES.
