Abstract
A number of silicon-based inorganic ion exchangers were synthesized under different conditions of preparation. The original and regenerated ion exchange capacities (IECs) were determined. Thermal stability of these materials was investigated in the temperature range of 40–800 °C. The gain/loss of IEC was studied as a function of temperature. These exchangers show a higher IEC and its retention to a considerable extent at elevated temperatures when compared to that of corresponding ion exchangers which do not contain silica. The thermogravimetric curve shows greater percent mass loss in H+ form of the exchanger than in K+ form. Dehydration studies seem to throw some light on the state of water molecules present in various samples. The empirical formula and the tentative structure for stannic arseno silicate have also been proposed.
