The adsorption and selectivity performances of IIF including kinetics, isotherms, pH effects, and regeneration were investigated.  The isotherm results showed that the maximum Pd(II) uptake on the IIF was maintained as 324.6-326.4 mg g(-1) in solutions containing single and multiple metals, whereas the Pd(II) uptake on non-imprinted fibers (NIF) decreased from 313.7 to 235.3 mg g(-1) in solution containing multiple metals.  Furthermore, the stabilized performance for three cycles of sorption/desorption shows a potential for further large-scale applications.
