ABSTRACT:

The polyamine (PA) was prepared by condensation of 1, 4-bischloromethyl benzene and 1, 4-benzene diamine. The PA was then treated with cyanuric chloride at 0oC followed by reaction with sulfanilic acid in THF in concentrated NaOH (pH 9-10) at room temperature for 8 hrs. The resultant polymer designated as polyamine-s-triazine-sulfanilic acid (PATS) was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral studies, and thermogravimetry. The PATS sample was monitored for its ion-exchanging properties. Batch equilibration method has been adopted, for such properties. Based on this the PATS resin was employed for removing the metal ions from effluent coming out of electroplating industry.
