A simple method has been developed for the separation of Gd(III) in hippuric acid medium by using poly[dibenzo-18-crown-6] as stationary phase. The effect of hippuric acid concentration, different eluting agent, foreign ions etc. was studied and the optimum conditions were established. Breakthrough capacity of poly[dibenzo-18-crown-6] for Gd(III) was found to be 0.572±0.01 mmol/g of crown polymer. The separation of Gd(III) from other elements in multicomponent mixtures has been achieved. The method was extended for determination of Gd(III) in real sample. The method is simple, rapid and selective with good reproducibility (approximately ±2%).
