The adsorption and separation behaviors of alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions using a poly-dibenzo-18-crown-6 were investigated in aqueous solution. The adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D) of alkali, alkaline earth metal ions were Li(I)$t_R$) of metal ions were affected by the adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D). This results showed good separation efficiency of K(I), Sr(II), Ag(I) and Pb(II) from the mixed metal solution.

Poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane electrodes based on the lipophilic neutral carrier, dibenzo-18-crown-6(DB18C6) and benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) as the active sensors for Tl$^+$ ion have been prepared and tested in different content of the potassium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (KTClPB) as lipophilic salt. Dioctyl adipate (DOA), 2-nitrophenyl phenyl ether (NPPE) and o-nitrophenyl actyl ether (NPOE) were used as plasticizing solvent mediators. Electrodes exhibited good linear responses of 40∼55 mV decade$^{-1}$ for Tl$^+$ ion within the concentration ranges 10$^{-1}$∼10$^{-5}$M TlNO$_3$. Selectivity coefficients of interfering ions (alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and some transition metal ions) for Tl$^+$-ISE were determined by separate solution method and were sufficiently small for most of them. These crown ether type ion-selective electrodes are suitable for use with aqueous solution at pH > 3.
