Development of bimetal oxide doped multifunctional polymer nanocomposite for water treatment

Abstract

Bimetal oxide doped polymer nanocomposite was developed using Alumina and Iron (III) Oxide as nanoparticles with Nylon 6, 6 and Poly (sodium-4-styrenesulphonate) as polymer matrix for removal of pollutants from water. The blend sample of polymers was prepared by well established solution blending technique and their nanocomposite samples were prepared through dispersion technique during the solution casting of blend sample. The fabricated composites were characterized adopting FTIR, XRD, FESEM and EDX techniques. XRD and FESEM were used for morphological characterization of nano phase, while FTIR and EDX analysis were adopted for characterization of chemical moieties in composites. In the study of pollutant removal capacities of prepared composites, 6 % nanocomposite provided the best results. It exhibited the maximum removal of all parameters. The removal of total alkalinity was 66.67 %, total hardness 42.85 %, calcium 66.67 %, magnesium 25 %, chloride 58.66 %, nitrate 34.78 %, fluoride 63.85 %, TDS 41.27 % and EC was up to the level of 41.37 % by this composite. The study is a step towards developing multifunctional, cost-effective polymer nanocomposites for water remediation applications.

Thermal, dielectric and catalytic behavior of palladium doped PVC films

“…Most of the thermoplastic polymers have widely been used in various fields from sensors to electrical equipment design due to their lightweight, ease of fabrication, exceptional processability, durability, and relatively low cost. Incorporation of various metallic oxides with thermoplastic polymers as polymer matrix have drawn profound applications in the removal of organic pollutants from water [11] and some of the metal doped polymers are used as matrix materials for ferroelectric composites [12] .…”
