Research abstract
NEW IDEAS ARE PRESENTED ON THE COVALENT ATTACHMENT OF CHELATING FUNCTIONALITIES TO A COMMON, INEXPENSIVE SORBENT MATERIAL, WHICH CAN THEN COMPLEX HEAVY METAL IONS IRREVERSIBLY. THE EFFICIENT REMOVAL OF LEAD, CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, MERCURY, ZINC, NICKEL, COBALT, IRON, AND COPPER ISANTICIPATED. THE COVALENTLY ATTACHED LIGANDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE STABLE TOWARDS HYDROLYSIS AND PH VARIATIONS. THE CAPACITY OF THE CHEMICALLY MODIFIED SORBENT MATERIALS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR THE ABOVE-MENTIONED HEAVY METAL IONS IN THEPRESENCE OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM IONS AND FOR SIMULATED WATER SAMPLES. THE SORBENT MATERIAL BEFORE AND AFTER SORPTION WILL BE EXAMINED BY NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS, AND THE ELUTED WATER WILL BE ANALYZED BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS SPECTROMETRY.
