The terpolymeric resins were prepared by base catalyzed polycondensation ofp-hydroxybenzaldehyde, resorcinol and formaldehyde. Resin obtained by molar monomer composition,p-hydroxybenzaldehyde: resorcinol: formaldehyde as 1:1:3 was abbreviated as PHBRF-I and that prepared by 1:2:4 composition was abbreviated as PHBRF-II. These resins were characterized by physicochemical methods such as elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR and NMR. ion-exchange study was carried out with Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Pb2+& Cd2+by batch equilibrium method. The rate of metal ion uptake by PHBRF-II terpolymeric resin was higher than that of PHBRF-I. Effect of pH and electrolytes under specified condition were also studied. The terpolymeric resins show high selectivity for Cu2+, Zn2+and Co2+as compared to Ni2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+.
Terpolymeric resin was prepared from m-cresol (0.1M), hexamine (0.05M) and formaldehyde (0.2M) by acid catalyzed polycondensation method using 1M HCl in temperature range of 122-130°C.The resin was abbreviated as m-CHF-I. The molecular weight of terpolymer was determined by non-aqueous conductometric titration technique. The structure of resin was determined by its elemental analysis, UV-VIS, IR, and NMR data. The thermokinetic parameters were determined using Freeman-Carroll (FC) and Sharp Wentworth (SW) method in temperature range (410-485°C).The values of activation energies (Ea), entropy (∆S), and free energies (∆G) were in good agreement . The order of degradation reaction determined by FC method was confirmed by SW method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
