The invention belongs to the technical field of complex preparation. The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a complex capable of efficiently chelating
metal ions, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, weighing raw materials, S2, preparing a
polyvinyl alcohol solution, adding other raw materials except an initiator into the
polyvinyl alcohol solution, stirring and mixing to prepare a
mixed solution, S3, cooling the
mixed solution, adding the initiator, stirring to prepare an intermediate solution, and S4, adding the intermediate solution into a reaction kettle, and stirring to prepare the complex capable of efficiently chelating
metal ions. And S4, performing primary
dialysis on the intermediate solution to obtain the complex PVA-g-
EDDS. According to the invention,
ethylenediamine disuccinic acid is modified on the surface of the membrane, and
polyvinyl alcohol is chemically modified, so that PVA-g-
EDDS is obtained. The PVA-g-
EDDS has a plurality of strong
chelation sites on a molecular chain, can treat
metal ion wastewater with
high concentration, and also can effectively chelate metal ions for low-concentration
wastewater, and the molecular weight is increased after
chelation, so that the
metal chelate is intercepted by a membrane, and the
wastewater treatment efficiency is greatly improved.
