Department of Chemistry, D. G. College (C. S. J. M. University), Kanpur-208 001, India Manuscript received 3 February 2000, revised 16 October 2001, accepted 9 February 2002 Salicylic acid is condensed with formaline (37%) under acidic and alkaline conditions using phenol/resorcinol as cross-linking agent to yield chelate resin. Kinetic parameters and sorption of several metal ions as a function of pH, have been studied with a view to use the resin for the separation of such metal ions
