“…Cavus et al studied competitive heavy metal removal by poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid-co-itaconic acid) to remove Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions with great retention [3].Urbano et al studied the sorption properties of composites based on 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II). The addition of montmorillonite enhanced the mechanical properties of the ion exchange resin [4].Rivas et al studied the metal ion removal properties of crosslinked poly(acrylamide-co-2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid) for the extraction of Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Al(III), and Cr(III) metal ions from aqueous solution; they found that the adsorption capacity increased with pH [5]. Rivas et al studied the retention of Cu(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cr(III), and Ag(I) by poly(2acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), and poly[(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)-co-(methacrylic acid)] by the Liquid-phase Polymer-based Retention (LPR) technique [6].Bajaj et al synthesized and characterized different copolymers of acrylonitrile-acrylic acids [7].…”
