摘要

In the present endeavour, zirconium amino tris(methylenephosphonic acid) (ZrATMP)-a novel hybrid ion exchange material of the class of tetravalent metal acid (TMA) salts has been synthesized by sol gel method. Physico-chemical and instrumental methods of analysis [Elemental analysis (ICP-AES, CHN analysis), FTIR, TGA, XRD and SEM] have been used to characterize the material. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) has been determined and the distribution behaviour of metal ions Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Ce3+ and Th4+ in aqueous and various electrolyte media/concentrations determined and confirmed with breakthrough capacity values.
