Abstract

A novel resin poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate-co-4-acryloyl morpholine) was synthesized through a radical solution polymerization in solution and studied as an adsorbent under uncompetitive and competitive conditions by batch and column equilibrium procedures for the following divalent metal ions Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II), and trivalent Cr(III). For all metal ions, the adsorption was strongly influenced by the pH. The maximum retention capacity, 3.29 mmol of metal ion/g, was obtained for Zn(II) at pH 5 by batch equilibrium procedure. For both the batch and column procedures, the retention behavior was similar for Cd(II), Cr(III), Zn(II), and Pb(II).
