Description

Polyaniline/cerium composite (PAN/CeO2) was prepared as a novel sorbent material using sol-gel polymeric method. The prepared powder was characterized by different technique as FTIR, SEM, XRD, DTA and TG Analysis. Adsorption of Cs(I) and Co(II) was studied taking into consideration different parameters such as initial pH, shake time, initial concentration of ions as well as effect of temperature. The kinetic studies cleafied that the pseudo second model is prevailing. The isotherm studies shows that the Freundlich isotherm model was applicable for the adsorption and the adsorption capacity of PAN/CeO2 was 68.49 and 133.87 mg/g for Cs(I) and Co(II) respectively.
