Bl. Rivas et Ed. Pereira, Obtention of poly(allylamine)-metal complexes through liquid-phase polymerbased retention (LPR) technique, BOL SOC CH, 45(1), 2000, pp. 165-171
Poly(allylamine)-metal complexes with different metal ions (Co(II), Cu(II),
and Ni(II) in conjunction with an ultrafiltration membrane were prepared.
They were obtained varying the polymer/metal ion ratio and the pH (1, 3, 5,
7). The retention at pH 1 and 3 was lower than 10%. The study was carried
out with the polymer-metal complexes obtained at pH 5 due to the high reten
tion but not at pH 7 because Cu(II) precipitated. They were characterized b
y FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and intrinsic vis
cosity.
