| Abstract | A potential sorbent for preconcentration and quantification of mercury and uranyl ions was developed by grafting cross-linked micro-gel in pores of the host polyethersulfone membrane. The micro-gel was formed by in situ photo-polymerization of itaconic acid (ICA) along with co-monomer acrylamide (AM) and crosslinker pentaerythritoltetraacrylate (PETA) in pores of the host membrane. The photo-polymerization was initiated by α,α′-dimethoxy-α′-phenyl acetophenone (DMPA) dissolved in polymerizing solution along with ICA, AM and PETA. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Gravimetry were used to confirm the anchoring of micro-gel in pores of the host membrane. The comparison of scanning electron microscopic images of blank and grafted membranes indicated that pores of membrane were completely blocked after grafting micro-gel in the membrane. The radiotracers and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) were used to study the metal ion uptake efficiency of membrane as a function of pH of the aqueous samples. It was observed that only U(VI) and Hg(II) sorbed with high efficiency (>80%) in the grafted membrane in the presence of other competing cations like Th(IV), V(IV), Eu(III), Fe(III), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II). It was also observed that desorption of Hg(II) and U(VI) from the membrane sample is possible by 0.01 mol L−1 EDTA disodium salt and 0.5 mol L−1Na2CO3, respectively. To explore analytical applications of the membrane, the concentrations of Hg2+ ions in the mining soil samples were determined by first preconcentrating mercury ions in the grafted membrane samples and then subjecting these membrane samples to cold vapour atomic absorption spectrophotometry (CV-AAS). The studies carried out in the present work demonstrated that the membrane developed in the present work could be used for removal of Hg2+ and UO22+ ions from waste streams as well as for their quanitative determinations in complex aqueous samples. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
