Abstract

Cyanuric chloride was reacted with polyamines and thiourea, and subsequent hydrolysis of the isothiouronium salt yielded amine polymers with divalent sulfur. The polymers scavenge cupric, cadmium, lead, and mercuric ions from considerably concentrated hydrogen chloride solutions, and they were compared with polystyrene—sulfonic acid resin. Zinc, cobaltous, and nickel ions are adsorbed only at relatively high pH (4.8–6.8). Removal of cupric, cadmium, and mercuric ions is not affected by the addition of sodium chloride.
