Abstract
Abstract An etherified phenolic chelate resin prepared by stabilizing and protecting the chelate groups of a phenolic chelate resin and then converting some or all of the phenolic hydroxyl groups into ether groups; a process for the production of the etherified phenolic chelate resin; and a method for separating a heavy metal ion from an aqueous solution having a pH of at least 7 by using this etherified phenolic chelate resin.
