Synthesis of Zn (II) ion-imprinted polymeric adsorbent for selective removal of zinc from aqueous solutions. Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 50(2), 216-219.0360-2559https://doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2010.531434https://hdl.handle.net/11491/885In this study, Zn(II)-imprinted polymer microbeads were synthesized for selective removal of Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. The microbeads were prepared using methacrylic acid and 1,4-vinyl pyrrolidone as functional monomers, zinc(II)acetate as zinc salt, ethylene glycol dimethacyrlate as a cross-linking agent, azo bisisobutyronitrile as an initiator and hydroxyethyl cellulose as surfactant. The non-imprinted polymer was also prepared for comparison, except without use of the Zn(II) salt. To determine the selectivity of Zn(II)-IIP beads, competitive adsorption experiments were investigated. According to the adsorption capacity values of the microbeads, Zn(II)-IIP beads show good selectivity for the target ion.© Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdsorptionCompetitive Metal Ion RemovalImprinted PolymerZinc IonArticle50221621910.1080/03602559.2010.531434N/AN/A
