2,2'-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer (coP-TEDMA/EGDMA) was used as a sorbent for gold recovery from residual solutions resulting from the electroplating industry. Firstly, synthesized material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The sorption process mechanism was evidenced on the basis of kinetic, thermodynamic and equilibrium studies. To highlight this, the influence of solution pH, temperature and gold initial concentration on maximum sorption capacity was studied. The obtained experimental data were modeled using Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips sorption isotherms, and it was observed that the Sips one was better for describing the studied sorption process. Kinetic data were fitted using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Of these models, the studied process was better described by the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic parameters free Gibbs energy (ΔG0), enthalpy (ΔH0), and entropy (ΔS0) were evaluated on the basis of the van't Hoff equation. On the basis of the thermodynamic study, it was concluded that gold recovery on coP-TEDMA/EGDMA is a spontaneous and endothermic process.
