Chelating resin

Chelating resins are a class of ion exchange resins. They are almost always used to bind cations. They utilize chelating agents covalently attached to a polymer matrix. Chelating resins have the same bead form and polymer matrix as usual ion exchangers. Their main use is for preconcentration of metal ions in a dilute solution.
