Abstract

Amorphous zirconium phosphate (ZP), an inorganic ion exchange material of tetravalent metal acid (tma) salt, is synthesized by the sol-gel method and characterized by elemental analysis (ICP-AES), thermal analysis (TGA, DSC), FT-IR and X-ray diffraction studies. The resistivity of the material to acids, bases and organic solvents is assessed. The sorption behavior of the dyes acriflavin (AF) and brilliant green (BG) toward ZP was studied at 313, 323 and 333 K and the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters evaluated. Adsorption isotherms [Langmuir and Fruendlich], breakthrough capacity and elution behavior of these dyes are also studied. The sorption affinity of dyes towards ZP is BG > AF.
