Ion-exchanger colorimetry for scandium in the form of ternary color system "Sc(Ⅲ)-CPA-pc-Ac" was developed. The influences of types and grain sizes of resin, adsorption modes and the acidity on the determination were studied systematically, and the optimum operating conditions and the allowable amounts of foreign ions were determined. In comparison with the ordinary solution colorimetry, both of the sensitivity and the selectivity of this ion-exchanger colorimetry are improved obviously. The preliminary uses of this method to the determination of Sc(Ⅲ) in two synthetic samples were satisfied.
