Study of copper adsorption on aminofunctionalized macroporous poly(gma-co-egdma)

Macroporous crosslinked copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycoldimethacrylate (PGME) was synthesized by suspension copolymerisation and modified by ring-opening reaction of epoxy groups with ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine and triethylene tetramine. The uptake of copper ions by amino-functionalized macroporous PGME from aqueous solutions was investigated in batch experiments. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model.Physical chemistry 2006 : 8th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 26-29 September 200
