Problem The present invention provides, in a metal-adsorbing material used for the removal and recovery of a wide range of heavy metals in treated solutions such as industrial waste water, service water, and environmental water, a gel-like metal-adsorbing material having a large amount of metal adsorption and capable of meeting various demands; and also provide a metal adsorbent having a gel-like metal-adsorbing material supported on a porous carrier. Means for Resolution A metal-adsorbing polymer selected from polyethyleneimine and polyallylamine is crosslinked with a polyglycidyl ether, whereby a gel-like metal-adsorbing material having a large amount of metal adsorption and capable of meeting various demands is produced. Further, a hydrophilic porous carrier is impregnated with a metal-adsorbing polymer, followed by crosslinking with a polyglycidyl ether, whereby a metal adsorbent having a gel-like metal-adsorbing material supported on the porous carrier, which has a large amount of metal adsorption and can meet various demands, is produced. |
