Abstract

AbstractThe terpolymer resin salicylic acid-hexamethylenediamine-formaldehyde (SHMF) was synthesized by the condensation of salicylic acid and hexamethylenediamine with formaldehyde in the presence of a hydrochloric acid catalyst. The number average molecular weight of the resin was determined by non-aqueous conductometric titration. Terpolymer resin was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and UV- Visible spectral studies. Chelation ion exchange properties have also been studied for Fe3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ions employing a batch equilibrium method. It was employed to study the selectivity of metal ion uptake involving the measurements of distribution of a given metal ion between the polymer sample and a solution containing the metal ion. The study was carried out over wide pH range and in the media of various ionic strengths. The terpolymer showed a higher selectivity for Fe3+, Cu2+ and Ni 2+ions than for Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ ions.
