Abstract

New chelating ion exchange resin containing hydroximate of 5 amino salicylic acid was synthesized by incorporating it in divinylbenzene styrene (DVBS) copolymer. Hydrophilic polysaccharidematrix ofguaran was also used to incorporate hydroximate of 5 amino salicylic acid in it. The resin characteristics were studied by determining its bulk density, specific bulk volume, moisture content, degree of substitution and ion exchange capacity. The resin was characterized by means of IR spectra, Nitrogen content and pH titration. The distribution coefficient values of different metal ions namely Fe(II), Cu(II) , Zn(II) , Cd(II) , Co(II) , Ni(II), Ca(II), U(VI), Cr(VI) & W(VI) was carried out on these resins as a function of pH . Metal analysis was done by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The hydroximate derivative of guaran is found to be more selective than that of diving benzene co-polymer.
