Three chemically modified woods were prepared and used for the binding of heavy metal ions. Wood-polyethylenimine composite (wood-PEI) was found to be effective for the adsorption of heavy metal ions such as Hg2+, Cu2+, and other metal ions which tend to form stable ammine complexes. Adsorption of

Abstract
Adsorption and desorption of Cu^2+^, Pb^2+^, Cd^2+^, Ni^2+^ and Zn^2+^ ions on samples of lignites (young brown coal) from three areas in the vicinity of Konya (Anatolia, Turkey) were followed using the polarographic method of analysis. This method enables the determination of free metal ions in suspensions containing both small and colloidal particles of lignite. Effects of pH, nature of the metal ion, and origin of the lignite on its adsorption capacity were followed. Binding is only between 5 and 30% reversible, indicating that ion exchange is not the predominant factor. The role of the size and shape of cavities inside pulverized lignite and of the functional groups inside these cavities was considered.

## Abstract Waterβinsoluble polyaspartyl polymers were synthesized by using water as medium instead of organic medium. Taking Ca^2+^ as a reference, the binding of several heavyβmetal ions, including Pb^2+^, Cd^2+^, Hg^2+^, Cr^3+^, Cu^2+^, and Mn^2+^, by polyaspartyl polymers was studied. The exper
