Abstract

ABSTRACT. Polyaniline-tin(IV)molybdophosphate composite exchanger was prepared using sol–gel method by mixing polyaniline gel into the inorganic precipitates of tin(IV)molybdophosphate. The composite ion exchanger was characterized by various techniques such as XRD, UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and PL. Photocatalytic activities and antibacterial efficiencies of the bare polymer polyaniline (PANI), the inorganic exchanger tin(IV)molybdophosphate (TMP) and the composite polyaniline-tin(IV)molybdophosphate (PANI-TMP) were evaluated using methylene blue (MB) dye as a model organic pollutant and Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria as test microbes, respectively. Photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of polyaniline[1]tin(IV)molybdophosphate composite was found to be higher than that of organic (polyaniline) and inorganic (tin(IV)molybdophosphate) counterparts. The results obtained indicated the degradation efficiency of approximately 73% in 180 min exposure time. Effect of scavengers study evidenced the most important species in the degradation process to be (·O2 - ) and (·OH). Highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency for the composite exchanger studied was obtained at initial concentration of 10 mg/L MB, 100 mg/L of catalyst load and a pH of 8. Antibacterial efficiency of the exchanger over both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria was found to be higher than the single counterparts.
