Preparation and adsorption properties of dialdehyde 8-aminoquinoline starch.

Dialdehyde 8-aminoquinoline starch (DASQA) was synthesized by the reaction of dialdehyde starch (DAS) and 8-aminoquinoline and was used to adsorb various ions from aqueous solution. DASQA was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis. The adsorption properties of the polymer for Pb(2+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) were investigated.
