A novel tetraethylenepentamine functionalized polymeric adsorbent for enhanced removal and selective recovery of heavy metal ions from saline solutions

Abstract

A novel tetraethylenepentamine functionalized polymeric adsorbent with polymethacrylate–divinylbenzene as the substrate was facilely prepared for the enhanced removal and selective recovery of Cu(<sc>ii</sc>) and Ni(<sc>ii</sc>) from saline solutions.
