An ion exchange resin chelator was synthesized from 8-hydroxyquinoline and pyrogallol using formaldehyde as a crosslinking agent to 120°C in a solution of DMF. The resin was characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR. The morphology of the synthesis resin was examined by optical photograph and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The physicochemical properties of the resin were studied. The cation exchange capacity was measured and the effect of pH and metal ion concentration on the ability of the ion exchange were studied. The ratio of cation exchange reaction and the distribution coefficient in tartaric acid medium at different pH were also studied using the method of batch equilibration.
