A comparative sorption dependence was carried out between the Dowex HCR-S/S″ industrial ion-exchange sorbent and the synthesized ion-exchange sorbent based on dibenzylamine, epichlorohydrin and polyethylenimine in relation to copper and silver ions. The sorption of copper and silver was studied by ionometry and the dependences of the sorption of copper and silver ions in the static mode were established depending on the concentration of metal ions and the duration of ionite contact with solutions of copper and silver nitrates. It was found that the maximum sorption capacity of the synthesized ion exchanger is 672.4 mg/g for copper ions and 721.0 mg/g for silver ions, and 626.3 mg/g and 679.7 mg/g for industrial Dowex HCR-S/S″ ionite, respectively. It is shown that the sorption of copper and silver is described by various kinetic models: for copper, the best correspondence is demonstrated by a pseudo second order kinetic model, whereas for silver, the Elovich kinetic model the different nature of the interaction of ions with active centers. It has been revealed that the synthesized ion exchanger is superior to an industrial sorbent in terms of sorption rate and degree of extraction of valuable metals, especially in concentrated solutions, which indicates the prospects of its use in the processes of selective extraction of copper and silver.
