N-Cetyl-N,N,N-tri methyl ammonium bromide based Tin(IV) Phosphate, A New Surfactant based Hybrid Ion Exchanger: Synthesis, Ion exchange and Physico-chemical Characterization

Abstract

N-Cetyl-N,N,N-tri methyl ammonium bromide based Tin (IV) Phosphate has been reported as a new class of hybrid ion exchanger. It has been characterized by some physico-chemical studies such as FTIR analysis, SEM study and elemental analysis. Its method of synthesis along with ion exchange characterization has also been reported in this study including ion exchange capacity, concentration study, elution study, recycling study and thermal stability. The antimicrobial activity of N-Cetyl-N, N, N-tri methyl ammonium bromide based Tin (IV) Phosphate on some microorganisms such as Staph Awrens, E. coli ESS 2231, Protect vulgaris and Aspergillus fumigatus has also been studied to prove the antimicrobial nature of the reported material. Based on the above study it has been concluded that the present material can be of great importance in environmental pollution control.
