Sir: In a search for inorganic materials whichmight exhibit anion exchange properties, investigation of hydrous zirconium oxide appeared particularly attractive. It is extremely insoluble and is ex-pected to be insensitive to attack by acids, bases, oxidizing and reducing agents. Some adsorption properties of “zirconium hydroxide” have been de-scribed. 8 Anion exchange properties might be anticipated if one visualizes it to be formed from positively charged zirconium polymers, known to occur in solution, 4 which are partially cross-linked into a network during hydroxide precipitation or subsequent drying. Further, some hydroxides (or oxides) such as aluminum oxide or ferric hy-droxide5 6 have long been known to be good adsorbents for a number of materials.“Zirconium hydroxide” was precipitated from recrystallized zirconium oxychloride with ammonia, centrifuged off, dried (room temperature to 800), ground and sized. The materials, of indefinite composition, contained small amounts of water and chloride ions. They showed good adsorption in acidic solutions for negative ions, eg, Cl-, Br-, N03-, and particularly sulfate and chromate and some, though small, selectivity for complex anions. At low drying temperatures they showed good uptake of negative ions from acidic solutions, eg, if dried at 32 apparent capacity for chromate was ca. 1.4 molesper kg. Though adsorptive capacity decreases with firing temperature, this does not be-come excessive below ca. 300. Adsorption on the materials can be described in terms of ion exchange terminology. The materials show typical anion exchange displacement reactions and, at least at low loading, exchange is essentially ideal, eg, in tracer Br--N03-exchange experimentsthe dis-tribution coefficients D of Br-(amount per kg. adsorber/amount per liter solution) were inversely proportional to M N03-. The materials should be classed as weak-base exchangers, since even in strongly acidic solutions apparent capacity is dependent on acidity. Although studies of rates of adsorption are not avail-able, in adsorption-elution experiments the ex-changers respond readily to changes in conditions, and elution bands showed at reasonable flow rates (eg, 1 cm. per minute) the expected Gaussian dis-tributions. In view of their high chemical sta-bility, high adsorptive capacities, rapid response,
