The invention provides an indium adsorbent that can cause indium to be
adsorbed, and a simple and inexpensive indium fractioning method for
isolating and recovering high-purity indium from an acid solution whose
primary component is hydrochloric acid and that contains indium. A
primary component of the indium adsorbent is an anion-exchange resin that
has a crosslinked structure produced by the copolymerization of styrene
or acrylamide and divinylbenzene, and at least one of a quaternary
ammonium group and a tertiary ammonium group, and that is provided with
an acid-adsorbing ability. An acid solution whose primary component is
hydrochloric acid and that includes indium is brought into contact with
the anion-exchange resin to cause indium to be adsorbed to the
anion-exchange resin.
