Two new chelating resins possessing multiple functional groups capable of coordinating with several metal ions are reported. The resins were synthesized by condensing Schiff bases derived from 2-aminophenol, 2-hydroxy-5-chloroaniline and terephthaldehyde with formaldehyde in an alkaline medium. The effects of pH and contact time of the Cu2+ and Pb2+ in aqueous solutions on the uptake behavior of the resins were studied. The metal ion uptake behavior of the resins was investigated by the batch method. Both the uptake and the selectivity of the resins towards the investigated metal ions were related to the structure of the resins, type of the metal ion and the uptake conditions. The resins showed maximum uptake capacity for Cu2+ and Pb2+ at pH 10, Cu2+ was seen to undergo preferential adsorption in separate and mixture solutions of Cu2+ and Pb2+. Kinetic studies for the resins using Langmiur equation were also performed. The Schiff base monomers and their formaldehyde resins were characterized by elemental analyses. FTIR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the resins was studied using TGA/DTG analysis. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
