Abstract
A metal adsorbent which can adsorb a wide variety of metals, can conform to various uses, and adsorbs metals in large amounts. Metal adsorbents in various forms, which have the property of highly efficiently adsorbing metals, are produced by (a) a method in which a polyamine polymer is chemically bonded and immobilized to a porous support, (b) a method in which a polyamine polymer is blended into a solution of a raw material for fibers and the mixture is formed into fibers by wet-spinning or dry spinning, and (c) a method in which a polyamine polymer is blended into a solution of a film-forming polymer and the mixture is formed into a film by a method of film formation from solution.
Claims2
A metal adsorbent fiber comprising a polyamine polymer which has repeating units of ethyleneimine and N-carboxy-methylated ethyleneimine represented by the following formula (1) and in which the average molecular weight of polyethyleneimine forming a chain frame is 600 to 150,000
- wherein n represents a positive integer and m represents a positive integer;
- the polyamine polymer being incorporated into a cellulose fiber by incorporating the polyamine polymer into a solution of a raw material for the cellulose fiber to form a spinning solution and forming the spinning solution into a fiber by wet blend-spinning.
