CHELATING AND METAL IONS UPTAKE PROPERTIES OF POLY(M-AMINOPHENOL -FURFURAL)

Abstract

Polymeric chelate of poly(m-aminophenol-furfural) with Cr (III), Mn (II), Co (II), Ni (II) & Cu (II) ions have been prepared and characterized by spectral measurements (UV-VIS., IR), magnetic moment , electrical conductivity and element analysis of metal by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy F.A.A.S. Ion-exchange properties of polymeric chelate have also been studied by application of the batch equilibrium method via determination of metal ion before and after adsorption. The stability of polymer chelates were assigned in solution by Ostwald of dilution
