Performance of anion exchangers based on aniline,epichlorohydrin, and polyamines in sorption of molybdenum(VI) ions

Polyfunctional anion exchangers based on aniline, epichlorohydrin, and some polyamines were synthesized. The composition and structure of the anion exchangers were studied by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Molybdenum sorption was studied by classical polarography, and dependences of the sorption of molybdenum(VI) ions on the solution acidity, concentration of metal ions, and time of contact of the resins with the Na₂MoO₄ solution were determined in batch experiments. These ion exchangers exhibit high performance in sorption of molybdenum ions. The developed sorbents with increased sorption ability can successfully solve problems of removing molybdenum(VI) ions from process effluents in nonferrous metallurgy.
