In this study, we developed a new material (PPAAcO−Na+) charge with carboxylate groups to remove metal ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+) through ion exchange of multimetal solutions, (PPAAcO)nM2+. The polymeric surface of polypropylene (PP) was functionalized with carboxylate groups (PPAAcO−Na+) through grafting and the acid-base reaction of carboxylic acid (PPAA). FTIR-ATR corroborated the change of –COOH (1711 cm−1) to COO−Na+ (1562 cm−1) on functionalized PP. TGA-DSC showed a decrease in the melting energy of PPAA (75.09 J/g) and PPAAcO−Na+ (44.98 J/g). The effect of the grafting degree of COO− and its relationship with the concentration of acrylic acid (AA) was studied with grafting of 30%, 80%, and 154% on PPAAcO−Na+. SEM-EDS evidenced the relationship of the AA concentration, showing a thickening of the PPAAcO−Na+ fibers. The performance of PPAAcO−Na+ as a function of the grafting degree in the removal of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+, showed the following trend: Pb2+>Cd2+>Cu2+, achieving an efficiency greater than 90%. The fast adsorption of the metallic ions (120 min) suggests an ion exchange process, promoting a chemical interaction between PPAAcO−Na+ and the metallic ions, resulting in a polymer-metal complex (PPAAcO)nM2+. PPAAcO−Na+ has the potential to be a new, easily obtained material capable of coordinating and stabilizing metal ions on its surface.
