| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The final goal of this study is to create the innovative technologies to separate and recover precious metal ions in the aqueous solution as not ions but nano-particles using stimuli-responsive polymers having concentration and reduction functions. The stimuli-responsive (pH or temperature) polymers were newly synthesized using chitosan and chitosan derivatives. These polymers selectively adsorb precious metals in a large amount of base metals, and then the adsorbed precious metals were reduced to get their nano-particles on the surface of the polymers. In addition, we achieved to densely make nano-particles of gold on the polymer surface using the chitosan membrane indicating pH response, indicating that this method is applicable to development of new functional materials as well.
