Metal Ion Uptake Properties of Chelating Ion-Exchange Copolymer Synthesized from 2, 4- Dihydroxypropiophenone and 4-Pyridylamine

Abstract

Abstract: The chelating ion exchange copolymer 2,4-DHP-4-PAF-II has been synthesized by condensing 2,4- dihydroxypropiophenone, 4-pyridylamine and formaldehyde in the presence of 2M hydrochloric acid as catalyst using 2:1:3 molar proportion of reacting monomers. The resulting resin has been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Visible, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR. The morphological feature of copolymer has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) .
