Özet
The theoretical description of two bivalent metals (with the examples of nickel and cadmium), electrochemical removal, and determination by phenolic conducting polymer has been described. In this system, the conducting polymer acts in both aromatic and overoxidized forms, providing efficient metal cation removal. The correspondent mathematical model has been developed and analyzed by means of linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis, and its investigation confirms the efficiency of the phenolic conducting polymers for cadmium and nickel removal and immobilization into the polymer phase, where they are used in a composite. This is the keystone for the use of this process as a part of waste management and circular economy.
