A new sorbent (ACES-F micro-particles) is readily synthesized by the one-pot reaction of N-(2-acetamido)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid with formaldehyde (poly-condensation reaction). The mesoporous sorbent is charac-terized by BET analysis (SBET: approximate to 6 m2 g-1), SEM-EDX (N: approximate to 7-8 % and S: 5 %), FTIR spectroscopy (identification of amine, sulfonic groups and their interactions with metal ions), TGA, elemental analysis, and titration (pHPZC: approximate to 5.7). The study of pH effect on Cs(I) shows an optimum close to 8 (with intermediary optimum at pH 4, associated with dif...
