Abstract

A new dithiocarbamate-base resin was synthesized utilizing the reaction between carbon disulfide and immobilized amines on the fully cross-linked side of the styrene-maleicimide (SMI) copolymer. The sorption characteristics of the synthesized resin for copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and cadmium ions were investigated, using atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS). The sorption capacity of the resin for each metal ion was studied as a function of pH and time. The optimum pH range for sorption of the metal ions was between 4 and 6. The capacity of the resin for the metal ions decreases in the following order: Cu(II) ≈ Pb(II) > > Zn(II) > Ni(II) > Cd(II). The sorption rate of the metal ions in the resin decreases in the following order: Zn(II) > Ni(II) > Cd(II) > Pb(II) > Cu(II). The affinity of the resin for the ions was also studied using a mixture of the heavy metal ions. The capacities of the new resin, especially for copper and lead, are significantly higher than previously studied resins. Additionally, it was shown that desorption of the captured ions from the resin within 24 h can be done using 1 M nitric acid solution.
