Chemistry for the environment

This book presents a study dedicated to the decontamination of water polluted by heavy metals, based on the use of a newly synthesized Schiff base ligand. The approach adopted is based on the complexation properties of this ligand, enabling efficient capture of metal ions in aqueous solution.Experimental results highlight the ligand's remarkable ability to act as a chelating agent. The kinetic study carried out shows that the complexation process is highly dependent on several physicochemical parameters, notably the pH of the medium and temperature, thus influencing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.This work underlines the potential of Schiff base ligands as promising tools in the field of water depollution, proposing an approach that is both effective and adapted to current environmental challenges.
