Porous acrylonitrile (AN)/methyl acrylate (MA) copolymer beads were prepared by suspended emulsion polymerization. The cyano groups in AN/MA copolymer beads were converted to amidoxime (AO) groups by reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH(2)OH.HCl) to remove metal ions in aqueous solution. The
