The cation exchange behaviour of the divalent transition elements, manganese to copper and calcium was studied over zirconium phosphate dried at 35-degrees-C using hydrochloric acid as eluent. The adsorption of elements differ sufficiently as a function of hydrochloric acid concentration. The adsorption and the stability of the positively charged complexes is found to be in the order of Fe(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II) > CA(II) > Co(II) > Mn(II).
