Summary
The complexation properties of poly(ethyleneimine) were investigated for cobalt, nickel, zinc, cadmium, and copper using membrane filtration. The elution curves of each metal were determined at different pH values in homogeneous phase. Poly(ethyleneimine) was found to be an effective complexing agent and suitable for retention and separation of metals in aqueous diluted solutions.
