The resulting resin had been characterized by FTIR spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. The morphology of SFM resin had been studied by SEM and Optical photograph. Various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of pH on ion exchange capacity and effect of concentration on ion exchange capacity had been studied. The maximum sorption capacities at 0.05M concentration for Ni(II) and Cu(II) were  0.7905 (pH-6.0) and 0.6315 (pH-5.5) mmol/g of dry resin respectively. The distribution coefficient (Kd) for five metal ions [Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ] were determined in  various concentration of  tartaric acid electrolyte at different pH. The quantitative separations of heavy metal ions and transition metal ions from their admixtures [Cu(II)- Pb(II), Pb(II)- Zn(II), Ni(II)- Cd(II)] had been performed by using distribution coefficient (Kd).   %U https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_6703_b1e6a74314d6e6cc01ca7044b72762b8.pdf
