Abstract

Mohd Arsalan, Mohammad Mujahid Ali Khan and Imran Khan

The copper phosphate {Co3 (PO4 )2 } inorganic material has been synthesized by the sol gel method. The PVC supported CP membrane was designed by the mixing of inorganic CP and organic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials in 1:3 ratios of percentage. This membrane is used as a barrier for transportation of electrolyte and heavy metal ions due the charged particles on it. Due to this nature of membrane, it governs to adsorb as well as absorb characteristics of cations and anions. The structural, thermal and electrochemical characterizations were done by using different sophisticated techniques like FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA as well as SEM-EDX, LCR and potentiometer analysis. The characterizations of material and membrane indicated the information of functional groups, material nature, thermal stability, surface structure, porosity, elemental percentages, dielectric nature, ionic transportation etc. Teorell-Meyer-Sievers (TMS) theoretical method is used to determine the charge density of membrane which is an important theory is used to analyze the performance of membrane. The other important parameters of membrane have also been determined easily by the help of obtained values of charge densities.
