Abstract: Schiff bases are compounds resulting from the condensation reaction between an aldehyde or ketone with primary amines. The confirmation of the formation of these compounds involves the use of characterisation techniques which encompasses spectroscopic and thermoanalytical techniques. Recently, Schiff bases have garnered attention because of their wide applications which range from industrial uses to use in remediation of metal ions. Their use in extraction of heavy metal is of particular interest due to rising levels of metal pollution globally. The ability of Schiff bases to form coordination complexes with metal ions makes them suitable for these purposes. This review article outlines the synthesis, characterisation and application of Schiff bases to metal extraction.
