The invention discloses a water-
solubility macromolecular chelant containing sulfourea group and a preparation method thereof. The chelant of the invention is prepared by the following method: (a) adjusting the pH value of
formaldehyde with acid liquor to activate the
formaldehyde; (b) adding the sulfourea, adjusting the pH value with alkali, and reacting at the temperature of 75-90 DEG C; (c) adjusting the pH value with the acid, adding the alcoholic solution of
benzene sulfonyl chloride to react at 70-90 DEG C; (d) reducing temperature to 50-60 DEG C, adjusting the pH value with the alkali, and reducing the temperature to below 40 DEG C to prepare the chelant. The chelant of the invention has
chelation sedimentation function to almost all of the transition stated
heavy metals, which can not only be used in the treatment of the heavy
metal sewage containing
copper,
zinc,
nickel, mercury,
cadmium, and the like, but also can be used in the stabilization treatment of the heavy
metal in the
solid wastes such as mud, waste
incineration flying ashes, and the like. The preparation method of the invention has the advantages of no need of high temperature and
high voltage, low one-time investment, easy availability of raw materials, and
zero waste gas, waste liquid and waste residue in the production process.
