Synthesis,Characterization, and Analytical Applications of a New Composite Cation Exchange Material Acetonitrile Stannic(IV) Selenite: Adsorption Behavior of Toxic Metal Ions in Nonionic Surfactant Medium

A composite cation exchange material acetonitrile stannic(IV) selenite was prepared under different experimental conditions. The ion exchange capacity of the material was improved from 0.75 to 1.83 meq g^?1 in comparison to its inorganic counterpart, stannic selenite. The material was characterized on the basis of X-ray, TGA, FTIR, and SEM studies. Ion-exchange capacity, pH titration, elution behavior, and distribution studies were also carried out to determine the preliminary ion-exchange properties of the material. Furthermore, it was investigated that this ion exchange material has a good reusability after 8 times regeneration. The sorption behavior of metal ions was studied in nonionic surfactants namely triton x-100 and tween. On the basis of distribution coefficient studies, several binary separations of metal ions viz- Pb²⁺-Th⁴⁺, Ni²⁺-Th⁴⁺, Ni²⁺-Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺-Ce⁴⁺, Al³⁺-Bi³⁺, and Al³⁺Zn²⁺ was achieved on the packed column of this ion exchange material. The practical applicability of this cation-exchanger was demonstrated in the separation of Th⁴⁺ from a synthetic mixture of Th⁴⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Mg²⁺ as well as Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ from a brass alloy sample. Thus, all the studies suggest that acetonitrile stannic(IV) selenite has excellent potential for the removal of metal ionic pollutant species from aqueous media effectively.

4-Chlorosalicylic acid-formaldehyde polymer as a polymeric ligand

Poly(4-chlorosalicylic acid-formaldehyde) was prepared by condensing 4-chlorosalicylic acid with formaldehyde in presence of various acidic catalysts using different molar proportions of the two reactants. The polymer samples were characterized by IR spectra, their M _n determined by vapour pressure osmometry and also by nonaqueous titration and by TGA.

Radiation synthesis and application of a hydrogel based on acrylic acid and 2‐mercaptobenzimidazole

A hydrogel based on gamma‐radiation polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) in the presence of 2‐mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) and a crosslinking agent was prepared. The properties of this AAc/MBI hydrogel were characterized in terms of gel content, swelling in different solvents, structure morphology, and IR spectroscopy. Moreover, the thermal decomposition behavior of the prepared hydrogel was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The TGA thermograms were also used to determine the different kinetic parameters such as order of reaction and activation energy. The sorption of some divalent metal ions such as Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Hg²⁺ by the AAc/MBI hydrogel also was studied. The results showed that the AAc/MBI hydrogel has a higher tendency to swell in water and polar solvents than in nonpolar solvents. The highest metal uptake by the hydrogel was found for Hg²⁺ and Cd²⁺, whereas the lowest was for Cu²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions. The ratios between the distribution coefficients of the different metals [separation factors (SF)] indicate that the hydrogel has a high selectivity for Hg²⁺ over Cu²⁺ (SF = 10.923) and Pb²⁺ (SF = 19.110). However, the hydrogel prefers Hg²⁺ over Cd²⁺ (SF = 1.356) and showed a high selectivity for Cd²⁺ over Cu²⁺ (SF = 7.822) and Pb²⁺ (SF = 7.240). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
