Micellar Thin Layer Chromatography In Separation Of Toxic Metal Ions<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
The chromatographic behavior of heavy 
metal ions have been studied on aminoplast polymer 
as stationary phase using anionic surfactant  Sodium 
laureth sulfate  (SLS) as mobile phase.  Effect of (a) 
concentration of surfactant in the mobile phase,(b) 
acidity or basicity of surfactant containing developer 
medium and (c) the presence of strong and weak 
electrolytes additives in the mobile phase system. 
Semiquntatative determination of Cd2+
  and  Zn2+
by 
measurement of spot area was attempted. 
Identification of Zn2+
  and Hg2+ 
from river water, 
industrial waste water with preliminary separation has 
been achieved. 
Keywords-  chromatography, metal ions, mobile 
phase system
