2,2'-iminodibenzoic acid-cellulose was prepared by reacting 2,2'-iminodibenzoic acid salt with cellulose-Cl obtained by chlorination of cellulose-OH which is the major component of sawdust. The adsorptivity of Pb(II) and Cu(II) was studied using the synthetic chelating adsorbent. The adsorption amounts of those ions increased with increasing pH and the optimum adsorption time of metal ion was about 1hr. The adsorptivity of Pb(II) was larger than that of Cu(II).
