Ion-exchange studies of resin copolymers derived from aromatic hydroxy compounds

Department of Chemistry, S. V. M. College, Jagatsinghpur-754 103, India Manuscript received 18 September 1998, revised 22 June 1999, accepted 20 August 1999 The ion-exchange capacity, effect of electrolytes on metal uptake, rate of metal uptake and distribution of metal ion at different pHs of resin copolymers derived from thiosemicarbazone derivatives of phenolic compounds shows higher order than the resin copolymer derived from semicarbazone derivatives. The results are compared with the commercial ion-exchangers
