Chloromethylated polystyrene resins supported diethylenetriamine of linear and claw types have been prepared by the reaction of diethylenetriamine with chloromethylated polystyrene. The kinetics of adsorption of transition metal ions on polystyrene resins were measured by the limited-bath technique. This paper reports the results of the diffusion coefficients, entropies of activation, and free energies of activation. The ratedetermining step of the adsorption of transition metals on the resins is a process of diffusion through the particles.
