The macroporous anion exchangers with long-chained cross-linkingagents were investigated for the tungsten recovery from salt solutions. Thephysical-chemical characteristics of these sorbents were studied by means ofsorption-desorption experiment a well as electron and IR-spectroscopy. Theanion exchangers on the basis of macroporous copolymers of methylacrylateand divinyl-ester of diethyleneglycol or tetravinyl-ester of pentaerythritolpossess the exchange capacity to tungsten 2---5 times greater than the porousanion exchangers on the basis of styrene and divinylbenzene, therefore they canbe used for selective tungsten recovery from complex salt solutions.
