Abstract

A pioneer study has been conducted to synthesize novel hydrogel starting from a non-cellulosic raw material, gum dammar-a triterpenoidal system, and then converting this hydrogel into an organic–inorganic composite zirconium-based ion exchanger. Gum dammar was cross-linked with polyacrylamide zirconium (IV) iodo-oxalate [Gd-cl-poly(AAm)-Zr (IV) iodo-oxalate] by incorporating inorganic precipitates into the polymeric mixture. The polymeric mixture was synthesized using gum dammar (Gd), acrylamide (AAm), N, N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) and potassium persulphate (KPS). The reaction conditions for synthesis of hydrogel and ion exchanger such as time (120 min), temperature (70 °C), solvent (4 mL), concentration of monomer (12.97 × 10−3 mol/L), initiator (1.48 × 10−4 mol/L), cross-linker (4.22 × 10−4 mol/L) and ratio of zirconium oxychloride (0.1 M), potassium iodate (0.1 M) and oxalic acid (0.1 M) in ratio 2:3:2 were optimized to obtain maximum ion exchange capacity (2.02 meq/g). The morphology and structure of hydrogel and ion exchanger were studied using FTIR, SEM, XRD and TGA/DTA/DTG. The SEM study was followed by energy dispersive spectroscopy for elemental analysis. The ion exchanger was quite stable in various acids and bases at low concentration but it completely dissolved in acids and bases at high concentrations. Distribution studies showed that the synthesized ion exchanger had high selectivity for Pb2+ ions. Thus, the polymeric-inorganic hybrid material showed integration of both inorganic and organic characteristics within the composite material.
