Azobenzene based metal ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) were synthesized for selective separation of Co (II) and Cu (II) ions from the mixture of metal ions. After polymerization, cavities for the Co2+ and Cu2+ ions were created in the polymer materials by leaching with hydrochloric acid solution. The...
