Notes:
Three polyamine ligands, ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DTA), and triethylenetetramine (TETA), were bound to three chloromethylated “popcorn” polystyrene resins (16, 50, and 100% phenyl ring substitution) with the use of pyridine as the reaction medium. The rate of chloride displacement decreased with increasing molecular weight of the amine and higher degree of resin chloromethylation, while the extent of multiple attachments to the polymer matrix increased. The additional crosslinking, a result of multiple attachments, caused the polyamine resins to swell to a lesser extent in pyridine and water. The ability of the insoluble polyamine-polystyrene resins to chelate Cu2+ ions from dilute solutions (200 ppm) was determined at pH 5. With EDA resins the capacity for Cu2+ increased with increasing amount of the bound polyamine, with DTA it remained unchanged, while with TETA it was found to decrease.
