Synthesis and ion-exchange behaviour of acrylamide zirconium(IV) phosphate: A novel crystalline and Hg(II) selective hybrid inorganic ion exchanger

186-191A new phase of hybrid material, acrylamide zirconium(IV) phosphate, has been synthesized and characterized with the help of ion exchange, IR, TGA and XRD studies. The ion-exchange and distribution studies indicate that the material is highly selective for mercury. On this basis some binary separations have been performed on its column thus exploring its analytical potential
