Modeling, Thermodynamic Study and Sorption Mechanism of Cadmium Ions onto Isopropyl Alcohol Mediated Tin Dioxide Nanoparticles

The microporous tin dioxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) were synthesized by sol–gel method using isopropyl alcohol exhibit high surface area (128 m2/g). The crystal phase and geometry of SnO2 NPs was studied by X-ray diffractometer and the calculated crystallite size is 15.78 nm. The percentage composition and purity was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The morphology was examined through scanning electron microscopy which confirm the...
