Abstract

The new polyamine (PA) have been synthesized by condensation reaction of 1,4-bis(chloromethyl) benzene and 4,4’methylenedianiline. Further the PA was treated with 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine at 0oC gives the intermediate product, which was further reacted with H-acid in THF solution The synthesized polymer designated as polyamines- triazine-H-acid (PATH) was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral studies, and thermogravimetry analysis. Batch equilibration method has been adopted to monitor the ion-exchanging properties of resultant PATH compound. Furthermore, the PATH resin was employed for removing the metal ions from effluent. The contents of this metal can be reduced by treatment of lime, but result is not satisfactory, while the PATH resin found affective towards the removal of metal ions such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd from industrial effluents.
