Recycling the nonmetal components of waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), mainly thermosetting epoxy resins (TEPRs), is quite difficult because they are insoluble and inflexible. We report a new method to convert TEPRs into ion exchange resin by treatment with sulphuric acid and the equilibrium ion exchange capacity (IEC) of the produced sample is 1.63 meq g−1. FTIR indicated that TEPRs were modified by sulphuric acid and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified that sulfonic acid group (–SO3−) was introduced. The produced ion exchange resin was stable up to 200 °C by TG-DTG analysis. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cu(II) and Ca(II) were 23.30 and 56.27 mg g−1, respectively. The Langmuir model gave a better fit for adsorption than the Freundlich model. The activation energies (Ea) were 21.18 and 48.53 kJ mol−1 for Cu(II) and Ca(II), respectively, with pseudo-second-order kinetics.
