Mixed crystalline alpha zirconium — titanium phosphates with variable zirconium to titanium ratios have been prepared both by the well known gel reflux method and a modified HF method. Chemical analysis, X-ray, i.r. and thermal analysis were used to characterize the materials. Exchange capacities for these ion-exchangers have been evaluated by pH-titration combined with radioisotope tract technique for Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+.
