In the research described here we prepared a novel, modified polystyrene (PS) with iminoether as the complexing agent for Ba 2 + . Most heavy metals cause environmental, atmospheric pollution. [1][2] They cause consequence for humans health and aquatic life due to their toxicity. They become strongly toxic by mixing with different environmental elements and their removal from contaminated water is very important. The structure of all modified polystyrene such as nitrated polystyrene (PSÀ NO 2 ), aminated polystyrene (PSÀ NH 2 ), aminated polystyrene with imidate group (PSÀ NHÀ Im) and the complex with barium metal (PSÀ NHÀ Im/Ba 2 + ) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and the formation of N-2-Benzimidazolyl iminoether grafted PS was proved. The thermal stability and structure of the polystyrene and modified polystyrene were studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively. The elemental analysis was used for the determination of the chemical composition of the modified PS. The grafted polystyrene was used in order to adsorb barium from wastewater with an acceptable cost before the wastewater distribution in the environment. The impedance analysis of the polystyrene complex PSÀ NHÀ Im/Ba 2 + indicated an activated thermal conduction mechanism.The conductivity analysis of the complex with barium metal PSÀ NHÀ Im/Ba 2 + was studied; the activation energy was deduced from an Arrhenius plot and corresponded to, E a ¼ 0:85 eV, suggesting PSÀ NHÀ Im/Ba 2 + was a proton-type of semiconductor.
