Chelating polymer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001926",
  "term": "Chelating polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer containing pendant or integral ligand groups capable of forming multiple coordinate bonds with a single metal ion. These polymers can sequester metal ions from solutions, forming stable chelate complexes. They are often used in applications such as metal ion extraction, catalysis, and wastewater treatment.",
