Abstract: | Gelatin-tin (IV) phosphate nanocomposite (GT/TPNC) ion exchanger was synthesized by mixing gelatin gel into the precipitates of tin (IV) phosphate using sol–gel method. GT/TPNC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ion exchange capacity of GT/TPNC was reported to be1.44?meq/g. The material was found monofunctional as indicated from pH titration curves. The distribution coefficient of different metal ions such as Zn2+ (42.10), Cd2+ (37.93), Mg2+ (33.33), Cu2+ (33.21), Al3+ (14.28), Pb2+ (6.06), Ni2+ (12.50) and Co2+ (50.0) was studied using GT/TPNC ion exchanger. The distribution studies confirmed the selectivity of GT/TPNC for Co (II). The photocatalytical degradation of MB was found to be 78% within 5 h of solar illumination using GT/TPNC. Some binary separations such as Co2+–Pb2+, Cd2+–Ni2+, Co2+–Mg2+, Mg2+–Zn2+, Pb2+–Zn2+, Cu2+–Al3+, Al3+–Cd2+, Ni2+–Cu2+ were attempted using GT/TPNC ion exchanger. GT/TPNC was explored for the fabrication of ion-sensitive membrane electrode for the determination of Co (II) in the water system. The membrane electrode was found mechanically more stable with quick response time (30?s) and a wide pH working range (4.0–7.0). |
