Abstract

Metal ion adsorbent that is formed by an organic polymer having a hydrophilic character through a content of an average of at least 0.5 substituents per monomer unit of any of the following types: OH, O, CO, NH2, NH or N, so that the concentration of these groups is at least 25 mol-percent. The polymer in a non-aqueous state contains at least 10 μmol of metal binding groups per gram of adsorbent. The metal binding group has 5 coordinating ligand atoms, two of which are nitrogen atoms and three of which are carboxylic acid groups.
