Abstract: The cross-linked polyaminodiphosphonate for the removal of metal ions from wastewater is a cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte synthesized via cyclocopolymerization of diallylaminomethyldiphosphonic acid and 1,1,4,4-tetraallylpiperazinium dichloride (10 mol %), a cross-linker, in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide in aqueous solution at 85° C., followed by treatment with NaOH. The cross-linked polyaminodiphosphonate may be used to remove copper and cadmium ions from wastewater. The adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic in nature, with negative and positive values for ?G and ?H, respectively. The efficiency of Cu2+ and Cd2+ removal by the cross-linked polyaminodiphosphonate was found to be 96.8% and 93.8%, respectively.

Abstract: The cross-linked polyaminocarboxylates for the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions of the present invention are cross-linked anionic polyelectrolytes CAPE 6 and CAPE 9, containing pH-responsive amino acid residues. The cross-linked anionic polyelectrolytes have been synthesized via cycloco-polymerization and ter-polymerization of a diallylammonioethanoate monomer (90 mol %) and a cross-linker, 1,1,4,4-tetraallylpiperazinium dichloride (10 mol %) in the absence of SO2 (CAPE 6) and in the presence of SO2 (CAPE 9), respectively. For the sorbents CAPE 6 and CAPE 9, the efficiency of Cu2+ removal at an initial metal concentration of 200 ppb was found to be 77.5% and 99.4%, respectively. Treatment of real wastewater samples spiked with Cu2+ ions showed the excellent ability of the cross-linked anionic polyelectrolytes to adsorb metal ions.

Abstract: The cross-linked polyphosphonate-sulfone composition for removal of metal ions from wastewater relates to a cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte polymer for the removal of metal ions, such as lead (Pb2+) and copper (Cu2+) ions, from wastewater and the like. The cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte polymer has the formula: The cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte polymer is made by cyclopolymerization of diallylaminomethylphosphonic acid, 1,1,4,4-tetraallylpiperazinium dichloride (a cross-linker), and sulfur dioxide in the presence of AIBN (an initiator) in DMSO at 65° C. to form a cross-linked polyzwitterionic acid (CPZA). The CPZA is then treated with base (such as sodium hydroxide) to form the cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte polymer having the formula shown above.
