Abstract

Chitosan copolymers with vinyl monomers: 4-N-vinylpyridine, acrylamide, and acrylic acid, were synthesized and these sorption properties were investigated. The high efficiency of the copolymers was shown in relation to the binding of heavy metal ions. The use of a chitosan ter-copolymer with acrylamide and acrylic acid can significantly reduce (about 11 times) the content of Cr(VI) ions in wastewater.
