The application discloses a preparation method of modified
ion exchange resin and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
water treatment materials. Resin, EDC.HCl and L-
arginine are proportionally immersed into a
solution system with pH being 5 (the
solution system with pH being 5 is obtained by adjusting 1% dilute
hydrochloric acid), to obtain solution A, the solution A is heated to 35-45 DEG C and placed in a magnetic stirring pot, the stirring speed is set to 280-300 rpm, and the reaction is continuously carried out for 5-6 hours, to obtain resin B and residual liquid B, the resin B is washed with deionized water and
anhydrous ethanol alternately for 5-6 times, until the filtrate is neutral; the resin B is placed in a
vacuum drying box, the temperature is set to 55-60 DEG C, the vacuum degree is set to -0.09 MPa, and the
drying is continuously carried out until the weight is constant, to obtain the modified
ion exchange resin. The
grafting of L-
arginine increases more active sites of the resin, the
nickel ions can be effectively combined with the resin, and the adsorption capacity of the resin for the
nickel ions is improved.
