Abstract
Abstract A phenolic chelate resin comprising the three-dimensional product obtained by cross-linking a phenolic compound represented by the general formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein M is an alkali metal atom, an ammonium group, or a hydrogen atom, and R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, each is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms) with a phenol and an aldehyde. The phenolic chelate resin selectively adsorbs ferric ion and/or cupric ion in an acidic aqueous solution at a pH of 3 and less.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A method of adsorption treatment comprising selectively adsorbing at least one type of ion from the group consisting of ferric ions and cupric ions from an aqueous solution thereof with a three-dimensional phenolic chelate resin comprising the crosslinked reaction product of (a) a phenolic compound represented by the general formula (I) ##STR4## wherein M is an alkali metal atom, an ammonium group or a hydrogen atom; R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, each is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, with (b) a phenol and (c) an aldehyde or an aldehyde precursor.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
106 words
A method of adsorption treatment comprising selectively adsorbing at least one type of ion from the group consisting of ferric ions and cupric ions from an aqueous solution thereof with a three-dimensional phenolic chelate resin comprising the crosslinked reaction product of (a) a phenolic compound represented by the general formula (I) ##STR4## wherein M is an alkali metal atom, an ammonium group or a hydrogen atom; R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, each is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, with (b) a phenol and (c) an aldehyde or an aldehyde precursor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method of adsorption treatment according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous solution contains two or more heavy metal ions including at least one ion selected from the group consisting of ferric ion and cupric ion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of adsorption treatment according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous solution is an aqueous acidic solution having a pH of from 0 to about 3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
