Separation and identification study of different metal ions by thin layer chromatography using mixture of urea – formaldehyde polymer and silica gel-G as thin layer and surfactants, organic solvents as mobile phase

Different metal ions were separated on thin layer of laboratory prepared urea-formaldehyde polymer using cationic and anionic surfactants, organic , acidic and neutral mobile phases. Using different organic solvents in different ratios of water as a mobile phase different metal ions and their binary and tertiary mixture of metal ions were separated. By using ethanol and surfactants in different ratios as a mobile phase different metal ions and their binary mixture of Cu2+-V5+, Fe3+-Cu2+, U6+-Fe3+, U6+-V5+ and tertiary mixture of U6+-Fe3+-Cu2+ were successfully separated
