Novel Technique In Production Of Pb (Ii)- Imprinted Polymers, Ehab Mohammed, Mostafa M. Elsheikh, Adham A. El-Zomrawy, Farag A. Ahmed

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

Ion imprinting techniques were used to produce ion imprinted polymer (IIP) particles for the selective removal of Pb2+ from aqueous environments. As the Templating monomers, acrylic acid, acrylic amine ligand, and Methylene Bisacrylamide crosslinker were chosen. The imprinted polymer was prepared by free radical polymerization. By leaching with 0.1 M HCl, the (Pb2+) ion was removed from the template. The polymer particles were characterized by IR spectroscopy, Thermal analysis and potentiometric analysis. The produced polymer was mechanically crushed into fine particles, assembled into a sensor probe, and linked to a bare HB graphite pencil electrode (GPE). The sensor has a …

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

Using a co-precipitation process, sr-doped ZnO was prepared and demonstrated to be effective in the removal of anionic congo red dye, since its surface positive charge was increased to 17.3 mV. To investigate the surface morphology and physicochemical characteristics of Sr-doped ZnO, FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis, and point of zero charges (pHPZC) were employed. We conducted batch adsorption experiments to investigate the effects of contact time (180 minutes), pH (3.5–11), adsorbent dosage (0.5–3.0 g L−1), and temperature (288–328 K). The kinetic study was modeled using several equations, including pseudo-firstorder (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), Elovich, and intra-particle diffusion …
