An ion exchange composition formed of insoluble synthetic resin support particles with ion exchange sites at their exposed surfaces, and fine synthetic resin layering particles with ion exchange sites on their exposed surfaces, which attract the ion exchange sites of the support particles so that the layering particles are irreversibly attached as a monolayer to the support particles. The layering particles have a median diameter ranging from 0.002 to 0.09 microns, while the ratio of median diameters of the support particles to layering particles range from 100 to 1, and 5000 to 1. The composition is packed into a column and is used for separation of ions in liquid ion exchange chromatography. |
