The structure of nitrogen adsorption complex of fully dehydrated Cd2+ ion exchanged zeolite-X, |Cd46(N)18|[Si100Al92O384], was determined in the cubic space group Fd3 at 21(1) ℃ [a = 24.863(4) ] by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal was prepared by ion exchange in a flowing steam of 0.05 M aqueous solution Cd(NO3)2 : Cd(O2CCH3)2 = 1:1 for five days, followed by dehydration at 500℃ and 2×10-6 Tor. for two days, and exposured to 100 Tor. zeolitically dry nitrogen gas at 21(1) ℃. The structure was determined in atmosphere, and was refined within F0 〉 4Σ(F0) using reflection for which the final error can appear in indices R1 = 0.097 and wR2 = 0.150. In this structure, Cd2+ ions occupied four crystallographic sites. Nine Cd2+ ions filled the octahedral site I at the centers of hexagonal prisms (Cd-O = 2.452(16) a). Eight Cd2+ ions filled site I' (Cd-O = 2.324(19) a). The remaining 29 Cd2+ ions are found at two nonequivalent sites II (in the supercages) with occupancy of 11 and 18 ions. Each of these Cd2+ ions coordinated to three framework oxygens, either at 2.159(15) or 2.147(14) a, respectively. Eighteen nitrogen molecules were adsorbed per unit cell and three per supercage.

Cation exchange distribution coefficients of poly(dithiocarbamate) were presented for Cd^2+, Cr^3+, and Pb^2+ in HCl. The distribution coefficients were determined by using the batch method. Based on these distribution data, the separation possibilities of the heavy metal ions were discussed. The distribution coefficients of three heavy metal ions on dithiocarbamate resin were decreased as HCl concentrations were increased. The selective separation of Cr^3+ and Cd^2+ was possible by using 0.1 M HCl in dithiocarbamate resin and the reproducibility test showed that the average absorptivity of resin was 90% in the case of Cd^2+ ion by the column method.
