Abstract
AbstractThe poly(IA-co-MBA) was prepared via copolymerization reactions of IA with MBA as a crosslinking agent by solution polymerization method using azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator at 65oC. The structure of the product was investigated using FTIR. The obtained copolymer was used as adsorbent for removal of Cu2+ and Co2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH value, contact time, initial metal concentration and polymer dosage on metal ion uptake were reported. Adsorption data for adsorbate concentration are most commonly described by adsorption isotherms, such as Langmuir, Freundlish and Tempkin isotherms. Experimental results showed that the metal ions removal percentages increased at pH = 4, using initial concentration of metal ions of 60 mg/L after 60 min of stirring.Keywords: copolymer, metal removal, copper, cobalt, isotherm.
