Abstract:
A macroreticular poly(acrylic acid)-based resin with triazolethiol as the functional group has been synthesized. The stability of the resin in acidic media and the behaviour in sorption and desorption of various metal ions have been investigated and compared with those of the acylthiosemicarbazide resin which is an intermediate in synthesis of the triazolethiol resin. Both resins show high affinity for copper(II) silver, cadmium and mercury(II), and high selectivity for silver and mercury(II) at low pH (1-2), and even at pH 7 if EDTA is present. The triazolethiol resin sorbs metal ions faster than the acylthiosemicarbazide resin does and sorbs mercury(II) from high concentrations of acids and neutral salt solutions. This resin has been applied to the concentration of silver and mercury(II) from sea-water samples by column operation.
