The resin 2-H, 4-MBP-1,5-DANF-IV was synthesized by the condensation of 2-hydroxy, 4-methoxybenzophenone and1, 5-diaminonaphthalene with formaldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid as a catalyst. The resin was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectral studies. The chelation ion-exchange properties was studied for Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions employing a batch equilibrium method. It was used to study of the selectivity of metal-ion uptake involving the measurements of the distribution of a given metal ion between the copolymer sample and a solution containing the metal ion. The study was carried out over a wide pH range and in media of various ionic strength.The resin depicted a higher selectivity for Cu2+ and Ni2+ ion than for Co2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions.
