Synthesis of organically templated nanoporous tin (II/IV) phosphate for radionuclide and metal sequestration
Nanoporous tin (II/IV) phosphate materials, with spherical morphology, have been synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Cl) as the surfactant. The structure of the material is stable at 500°C; however, partial oxidation of the material occurs with redox conversion of Sn2+ to Sn4+, resulting in a mixed Sn(II)/ Sn(IV) material. Preliminary batch contact studies were conducted to assess the effectiveness of nanoporous tin phosphate, NP-SnPO, in sequestering redox sensitive metals and radionuclides, technetium(VII), neptunium(V), thorium(IV), and a toxic metal, chromium(VI), from aqueous matrices. Results indicate tin (II) phosphate removed > 95% of all contaminants investigated from solution.
