Abstract
The chelating ion‐exchange properties of the 2,4‐dichlorophenyl acrylate (2,4‐DCPA)/8‐quinolinyl methacrylate (8‐QMA) copolymers, synthesized using different monomer feed ratios, were investigated by the batch equilibrium method. Five metal ions Cu+2, Ni+2, Co+2, Zn+2, and Fe+3 were used to evaluate the cation‐exchanger capability of 2,4‐DCPA‐co‐8‐QMA copolymers. The ion‐exchange study was carried out for three different experimental variables viz., pH of the aqueous medium, ionic strength of electrolyte and shaking time. It was observed that due to the presence of a pendant ester‐bound quinolinyl group, the copolymers are better suited as cation exchangers.
