Two kinds of complexane-type of chitosan chemically modified with EDTA and DTPA were synthesized and examined concerning the adsorption behavior for iron(III), copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), aluminium(III), and lead(II) from a dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Both of these adsorbents were found to adsorb lead(II) at low pH in a similar highly selective manner over zinc regardless of the kind of acid, whether it be hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, and to have a much stronger adsorption power compared with a commercial phosphonamidic acid-type chelating resin. The maximum adsorption capacities of lead were 1.8 and 1.5 mol/kg-dry gel for DTPA- and EDTA-chitosan. The breakthrough followed by elution tests demonstrated that it is achievable to concentrate a small amount of lead(II) which has been very selectively separated from a large excess of zinc by using an adsorption column packed with these adsorbents.
Herein, we report on the synthesis of a monocationic μ-nitrido-bridged iron porphycene dimer, a structural analog of a monocationic μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer, which is known to be one of...
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.
