- Description
- A chelating ion exchanger, prepared by functionalising Merrifield resin with 2,2′-pyridylimidazole, was utilized to selectively adsorb and separate nickel from other base metal ions in synthetic sulfate solutions. The sorbent material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microanalysis, infrared (IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and BET surface area. The distribution ratio (D) and the sorption capacity of the microspheres toward Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(II) ions was studied by using the batch and column methods, respectively. Ni(II) followed by Cu(II) showed the highest distribution ratio (D) and the highest sorption efficiency of nickel(II) ions around pH 2. The binary separation of nickel(II) from copper(II), cobalt(II) and iron(II) respectively, undertaken in a column study, through loading the metal ions at pH ≈ 2 followed by selective decomplexation, demonstrated the selectivity of the sorbent material for nickel(II). Thus, 2,2′-pyridylimidazole can be regarded as a nickel-specific extractant.
