Water soluble polymers were prepared by the reaction of poly (methyl acrylate) (PMA) with amino alcohols such as 2-aminoethanol (AE), 3-amino-l-propanol or diethanolamine, and examined in the removal effect of heavy metals from waste water by a foam treatment method. AE showed the best result among the amino alcohols used.
More than 99.9% of zinc was removed by the polymer prepared by the reaction of PMA with AE (molar ratio 1:5) in dimethylformamide at 130° C for 10 hours. More than 99% of copper or 98% of cadmium was, also, removed by this polymer.
