Abstract

Composite materials are synthesized using the sol–gel method involving tetraethoxysilane and vinyl acetate/1-vinylimidazole and vinyl acetate/4-vinylpyridine copolymers, and their sorption capacity with respect to platinum(IV) ions is studied. The composites exhibit the highest sorption activity at 338 K in 1 M HCl solution (sorption capacity with respect to Pt(IV) varies from 180 to 249 mg g–1). The interaction between platinum(IV) and the surface of the sorption material is a result of the chemisorption process. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models are used to describe the nature of adsorption.
