SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the separation of phosphates, nitrates, and nitrites from an aqueous solution. The recommended method for separating phosphates involves the use of calcium chloride (CaCl2) or barium chloride (BaCl2) to precipitate them. For the separation of nitrites, silver fluoride (AgF) is suggested as an effective precipitating agent. These methods are applicable in both analytical and industrial contexts, depending on the specific requirements of the separation process.
