Three magnetic chelating resins containing amino and mercapto groups were prepared by the suspended condensation polymerization of 2‐chloroethoxymethyl thiirane with diamines. The magnetic resins were microbeads whose diameter was in the range of 10 to 45 μm. The structure of the resins was characterized by XPS, IR, and elemental analysis. Their adsorption properties for Hg(II), Au(III), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Ag(I), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Pb(II) were investigated. The experimental results show the magnetic resins have high affinity for Hg(II) and noble metal ions. In the competitive adsorption, the resins predominantly adsorbed Hg(II) or Pd(II) in the coexistence of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mg(II). Desorption of Pd(II) loaded on the resins was studied by using 2 M hydrochloric acid solution containing 1% thiourea as desorbent. A high desorption ratio (up to 96.5%) was observed, and repeated adsorption/desorption operations showed the probability of repeated use of the magnetic resins. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
