Polysaccharide resins which are obtained from natural sources are abundant, cheap & hydrophilic. It was therefore thought worthwhile to prepare chelating resins from naturally occurring polysaccharides like TKP (Tamarind Kernel Powder). Secondary amine derivative of TKP acts as flocculent cum metal ion exchanger & can be used as scavengers for toxic heavy metal ions from effluent.
Carboxy isobutyl amine group was anchored on the TKP backbone in dioxane medium. The ion selective resin has been used in removal of toxic metal ions from effluent of mineral & metallurgical industries.
