Ion exchange application of HBAE-I resin

Abstract

Abstract Ion-exchange resin abbreviated as HBAE-I was synthesized. Abbreviation HBAE-I used for p-hydroxybenzaldehyde-adipic acid-ethylene glycolco-polymer inl:1:3 ratio. The IR, 1H NMR spectrum areused for characterization. Ion-exchange properties found for Bi3+, Sb3+, Zn2+ and Mg2+ ionsover 4 to 6 pH range. Toxic and heavy metal ions such as Sb3+, Bi3+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ are present in industrial effluent and wastewaters. The HBAE-I terpolymer resin are a selective for Bi3+and Zn2+ metals ions at pH 4 and 6 respectively.
