The chelating resin was synthesized by free-radical copolymerization of iminodiacetic acid modified glycidyl methacrylate with a cross-linker N,Nā²-methylene biscarylamide at 70°C for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium adsorption capacities of the chelating resin from their single-metal ion solutions were 3.28 mmol/g for Cd(II), 2.36 mmol/g for Cu(II), 1.71 mmol/g for Mn(II), 1.69 mmol/g for Ni(II), 1.41 mmol/g for Zn(II), 1.24 mmol/g for Co(II), 0.78 mmol/g for Cr(III) and 0.66 mmol/g for Pb(II). Their related absorption behaviors are discussed in this paper such as thermodynamic equilibrium, pH effect and the Langmuir and Freundlich model to evaluate the experimental data. According to the results, this resin could be used as a promising adsorbent for industrial wastewater disposal.
