Crosslinked acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) homopolymers and copolymers were prepared by free radical solution polymerization using N,N 0 -methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. The chemical structures of hydrogels were characterized by FTIR analysis and the results were consistent with the expected structures. These hydrogels were used for the separation of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) ions from their aqueous solutions. The influence of the uptake conditions such as pH, time and initial feed concentration on the metal ion binding capacity of hydrogel was also tested. The selectivity of the hydrogel towards the different metal ions tested was Cd(II) > Cu(II) > Fe(III). It was observed that the specific interaction between metal ions and ionic comonomers in the hydrogel affected the metal binding capacity of the hydrogel. The recovery of metal ions was also investigated in acid media.

Recyclization of poly (ethyleneterphthalate), (PET), with Diethanolamine and Triethanolamine having 1:2 wt% of PET: wt% of DEA or wt% TEA, in presence of manganese acetate as a catalyst. The inhibition action of the prepared compounds (D2 & T2) on the corrosion of carbonsteel which used in the manufacture of petroleum pipelines in nitric acid was evaluated, at different concentrations of inhibitors from (50-250 ppm) at different temperatures, ranged from (303-333 K). The polarization curves indicate that these compounds may act as mixed-type inhibitors. The adsorption of the prepared compounds on C-steel was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm,they also obey El-Awady isotherm. The values of activation energies (Ea*) and all thermodynamic activation parameters which determined, indicating that the type of adsorption was chemical adsorption.

Crosslinked acrylonitrile/acrylamidoxime/ 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AN/AAx/ AMPS)-based hydrogels were prepared by free radical crosslinking solution polymerization technique. The chemical structures of the hydrogels were characterized by FT-IR analysis. The morphology of the dry hydrogel sample was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). These hydrogels were used for the removal of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) ions from their aqueous solutions. The influence of the uptake conditions such as pH, time and initial feed concentration on the metal ion binding capacity of hydrogel was also tested. The selectivity of the hydrogel towards the different metal ions tested was arranged in the order of Cd(II) > Fe(III) > Cu(II). It was observed that the specific interaction between metal ions and ionic comonomer in the hydrogel affected the metal binding capacity of the hydrogel.
