Abstract

The synthesis of poly(N-acryloylpiperazine) was carried out by radical polymerization giving a yield of 90%. The polymer was soluble in water and was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and TGA. The metal ability binding properties for the Ag(I), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cr(III) metal ions in the aqueous phase were investigated using the liquid-phase polymer-based retention (LPR) method. The metal ion interactions with the hydrophilic polymers were determined as a function of pH and filtration factor.
