Investigation Of the Physico-Chemical Characterization OF Alpo4 Based Molecular Sieves

Abstract

Microporous aluminophosphate have aroused wide interest because of their rich structural chemistry and potential applications in catalysis and adsorption. In recent years, the mesoporous aluminophosphate and metal ion substituted AlPO4 based materials are well known for their applications as heterogeneous catalysts. The synthesized materials are characterized before to apply as adsorbents for the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. In this investigation, the characterization techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, N₂ sorption analysis, TGA and SEM are carried out to confirm the formation of aluminophosphate tetrahedral framework, crystalline nature, surface area, pore diameter, thermal stability and morphology respectively.
