Zinc selective nano-hybrid cation exchanger carboxymethyl cellulose Zr(IV) tungstate: Sol-gel synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and analytical applications

Nano‐hybrid cation‐exchanger, carboxymethyl cellulose Zr(IV) tungstate was synthesized in the presence of surfactant. Physicochemical properties like thermal stability, surface morphology, particle size, and composition were evaluated by using thermogravimetric analysis/diffrential thermal analysis/diffrential thermogravimetry (TGA/DTA/DTG), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy...
