Experimental and theoretical calculation investigation on effective adsorption of lead(II) onto poly(aniline-co-pyrrole) nanospheres

In the present study, poly (aniline-co-pyrrole) nano-sphere (PACPNS) was synthesized by micro-emulsion polymerization technique. The PACPNS was examined as a strong absorbent for lead(II) removal from aqueous media. The FTIR spectroscopy, TGA and XRD characterization were used for confirmation of construction, phase identification and thermal stability of PACPNS, respectively. FESEM images of the PACPNS showed a nanosphere structure with...
