Abstract

The kinetics of metal uptake from solutions of multi-metal, multi-ligand systems of composition similar to printed circuit board/semiconductor manufacturing wastes by a chelating ion exchange resin were examined. Solution pH and waste aging strongly influenced the observed uptake kinetics. There was no qualitative agreement between the rates of uptake of individual metals and their selectivity constants as determined earlier. Half lives for uptake ranged between 1 min and 10 hr. Desorption of metal could generally be accomplished using HCI treatment.
