The ion exchange capacity of DBPDA ion exchanger, {(4,5):(13,14)-dibenzo-6, 9, 12-trioxa-3, 15, 21-triazabicyclo [15.3.1] heneicosa-1(21), 17, 19-triene-2, 16-dione : DBPDA ion exchanger} was 4.2meq/g. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid were determined using DBPDA ion exchanger. Also alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were separated using DBPDA ion exchanger. From these results the effect of pH of solution and ionic radii of the metal ions on the distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were discussed.
