Abstract

A new silica gel material covalently bonded with 1-(pyridin-2-yl) imine (SiNPn) was synthesized and well characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, 13C NMR of the solid state, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, BET surface area, B.J.H. Pore sizes, thermogravimetry curves (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The new chelating surface exhibits good chemical and thermal stability. The adsorption capabilities of this new system towards toxic metal ions (Hg2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) were investigated using the batch method. The percentage limits of extraction were determined by atomic absorption measurements.
