o-Chlorophenol anchored tin antimonate: An ion exchanger for separation of heavy metals
An inorgano-organic ion exchanger (SnSboCP) has been prepared by anchoring o-chlorophenol onto tin antimonate (SnSb). The ion exchanger has been characterized by elemental, spectral and thermal analysis. Chemical stability of the exchanger in acidic, basic and organic media has been assessed. Ion exchange capacity (i.e.c) has been determined and distribution behaviour towards several metal ions in different electrolyte solutions with varying concentrations has been studied and a few binary separations achieved.
