A Comparative Study on Characterization of Aluminium Tungstate and Surfactant-Based Aluminium Tungstate Cation-Exchangers: Analytical Applications for the Separation of Toxic Metal Ions
Two cation-exchange materials, aluminium tungstate (AT) and sodium dodecyl sulphate–aluminium tungstate (SDS–AT), were synthesized. Both samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The distribution coefficients f...

Zusammenfassung: | Two cation-exchange materials, aluminium tungstate (AT) and sodium dodecyl sulphate–aluminium tungstate (SDS–AT), were synthesized. Both samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The distribution coefficients for various metal ions on SDS–AT cation-exchange material were performed in different solvent systems. On the basis of distribution coefficient values, the SDS–AT cation-exchange material was found to be selective for the very toxic metal ion, Cr
