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 &amp; can be used as scavengers for toxic heavy metal ions from effluent.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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 &amp; metallurgical industries.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> https://journalofchemistry.org/paper/664/ TKD Tamarind Kernel Powder Polysaccharide chelating resins Secondary amine group
