The preparation, properties and ions exchange behaviour of crystalline variety of TT have also been studied by Qureshi and Nabi4 and De and Chowdhury5. The present work describes the exchange capacities and distribution coefficients of several cations on the granular variety of TT and useful separation of some binary mixtures of cations.
