Synthesis of Polythiophene by Using MgO and Different Stabilizers for Separating Cd (II) from Aqueous Solution Abstract - The goal of this work is to study the sorption characteristic of Polythiophene nanocomposites for eliminating Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The products were characterized in the terms of morphology, particle size, and chemical structure by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and FTIR. FTIR spectrum analysis confirms that nanocomposite is formed in the
when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into the pure water bodies without treatment to remove harmful compounds [1]. In many countries the rapid agricultural activities, crops disinfection, inappropriate water disposal, rapid industrialization caused the contamination of the water bodies with harmful, toxic, and low biodegradability pesticides and other organic pollutants such as heavy metals, and drugs.
