Zinc was extracted from 1 M ammonium thiocyanate and was stripped with 0.25 M ammonium chloride. In addition, all mineral acids of appropriate strength and ammonium acetate (2 M) were also effective as stripping agents. Zinc was separated from a variety of elements in binary and muiticomponent mixtures by exploiting the difference in their extractability or stripping characteristics by different media. The method was extended for the analysis of zinc in soil and effiuent samples.
