Abstract
Immobilized-polysiloxane (diamine-thiol) tetraethylacetate, P-(NN-S)-TEA (where P represents [Si–O]n polysiloxane network), was synthesized using one-pot reaction of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) with 3-(ethylenediaminetriethylacetate)propyltrimethoxysilane and 3-thiolethylacetatepropyltrimethoxysilane in the presence of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. Its ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine modified polysiloxane (diamine-thiol)-tetrakis(N-2-aminoethylacetamide), P-(NN-S)-TEA-NN, and polysiloxane (diamine-thiol)-tetrakis(N-diethylenediamineacetamide), P-(NN-S)-TEA-NNN chelating ligand systems were also obtained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques have been used for establishing their structures. An elemental CHNX combustion analyzer was used to determine the mass fractions of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur of samples. The metal uptake capacities results showed that the modified polysiloxane ligand systems exhibited high capacities for the uptake of divalent metal ions in the following order: Cu2+> Pb2+> Ni2+> Co2+.
