Preparation and analytical properties of a chelating resin containing phenylalanine groups

A polystyrene-based macroreticular resin containing phenylalanine groups has been prepared and its analytical properties have been investigated and compared with Dowex A-1. The phenylalanine resin shows high selectivity for mercury(II) and copper(II) in the pH region 2-3. The sorption behaviour of copper has been examined in detail, with the intention of using the resin analytically. The important characteristics of the resin are fast equilibration, high selectivity and small volume change between its hydrogen form and metal forms. These enable it to be applied for the rapid concentration of trace amounts of copper in the presence of large amounts of diverse metals. It may be used for the determination of copper in sea-water and the separation of copper/cobalt and copper/nickel.     

Preparation and analytical properties of a chelating resin containing bicine groups

A polystyrene divinyl benzene based resin containing bicine groups has been prepared and its analytical properties investigated. The pH dependence of sorption of metal on the resin has been determined for Cu(II), Fe(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II). The important characteristics of the resin are fast equilibrium, high selectivity and small volume change between its hydrogen and metal forms. These enable it to be applied to the rapid concentration of trace amounts of these metal ions. It shows promise for the separation of lead from other metal ions.     

Preparation and properties of a new chelating resin containing imidazolyl azo groups

 A new chelating resin incorporating imidazolyl azo groups into a matrix of polystyrene divinylbenzene has been prepared. The exchange capacity of the resin for the ions mercury(II), silver(I) and lead(II) as a function of pH has been determined. The resin exhibits no affinity to alkali, or alkaline earth metals. It is highly selective for only mercury(II) and silver(I). In column operation it has been observed that mercury(II) in trace quantities is very effectively removed from river water spiked with mercury(II) at the usual pH of natural waters.

Synthesis and properties of a chelating resin containing triazolethiol groups

A macroreticular poly(acrylic acid)-based resin with triazolethiol as the functional group has been synthesized. The stability of the resin in acidic media and the behaviour in sorption and desorption of various metal ions have been investigated and compared with those of the acylthiosemicarbazide resin which is an intermediate in synthesis of the triazolethiol resin. Both resins show high affinity for copper(II) silver, cadmium and mercury(II), and high selectivity for silver and mercury(II) at low pH (1–2), and even at pH 7 if EDTA is present. The triazolethiol resin sorbs metal ions faster than the acylthiosemicarbazide resin does and sorbs mercury(II) from high concentrations of acids and neutral salt solutions. This resin has been applied to the concentration of silver and mercury(II) from sea-water samples by column operation.

A macroreticular polystyrene-based chelating ion-exchanger containing 1-nitroso-2-naphthol as the functional group has been synthesized.

Synthesis and properties of a new chelating resin containing the oxime group

A macroreticular polystyrene-based chelating resin with oxime and diethylamino functional groups has been synthesized. The resin is stable in acid and alkaline solutions; no decrease in nitrogen content or capacity for sorption of copper(II) is observed when it is exposed to 3M hydrochloric acid and 1M sodium hydroxide for 7 days. The resin has higher selectivity for copper(II) than for other metal ions tested and the time required for 50% uptake of copper(II) is 15 min. The highest capacity for copper(II) is 2.0 mmole/g at pH 6.0. In a column operation, quantitative recovery of copper(II) is achieved by elution with 1M hydrochloric acid, and the resin can be used repeatedly.     

Use of chelating resin containing thioacetamide groups for the separation of copper

Summary A new chelating resin containing thioacetamide incorporated into the weakly acidic polymeric matrix Amberlite IRC-50, has been synthesised and investigated for its metal exchange characteristics. Among the various cations studied, copper(II) was found to have the highest capacity. On the basis of experimental results, the resin was employed for the separation and preconcentration of copper from several synthetic mixtures and also from a few analysed alloy samples.     

A spectral study of transition-metal complexes on a chelating ion-exchange resin containing aminophosphonic acid groups

The coordination mode of a commercial chelating ion-exchange resin, ES 467, containing aminomethylphosphonic acid groups anchored on a macroporous styrenedivinylbenzene copolymer, with several metal ions, such as chromium(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) has been studied with the aid of IR, ligand field and ESR spectra. The chelating group of ES 467, aminomethylphosphonic acid, appears to bind different metal ions mainly through oxygen atoms of the phosphonic acid group, though, in the case of those species containing low-loading of metal ions, the secondary amine nitrogen atom also appears to take part in coordination. Most of the metal ions studied seem to be present as six-coordinated species in the polymeric matrix, whereas cobalt(II) species show electronic spectra which are consistent with the presence of both four-coordinated (tetrahedral) and six-coordinated (octahedral) structures of these species. The distribution coefficients for cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) have been determined and it appears that the resin ES 467 binds copper(II) ions selectively. An attempt has been made to find a possible relationship between the selectivity of the chelating resin and the stereochemistry of the adsorbed metal ions.
