Abstract:
There has been considerable interest during the last few years in using cellular (foamed) plastics (mainly polyurethanes) either unloaded or as a means of immobilizing hydrophobic organic reagents, powdered ion-exchangers or finely divided precipitates, for the collection and separation of inorganic or organic species from aqueous solution. Foamed plastics with anchored (bonded) functional groups have also been used for the same purpose. It has been realized that the application of cellular plastics is often advantageous not only for quantitative work but also for qualitative and semiquantitative analysis. Methods available on the application of cellular and foamed plastics for the collection, separation and recovery of various inorganic and organic components from aqueous solution are reviewed.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
