Separation and analysis of heavy metal ions by thin-layer chromatography (TLC)—a mini-review (2000–2019)

This review article describes the work reported on the separation and analysis of heavy metal ions by different modes of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) such as soil, micellar, and reversed-phase TLC during 2000–2019. The history of different modes of TLC has been briefly mentioned. The literature survey reveals that the number of papers reported during 2000–2019 on the separation of heavy metal ions by different modes of TLC follows the trend:...
