Rapid simultaneous removal of cationic dyes and Cr(vi) by boron cluster polyaniline with a target site†
Abstract
The stable physicochemical properties of polyaniline/closo-[B12H12]2− (PA/B12) obtained by an ion exchange technique combined with polyaniline (PA) and closo-[B12H12]2− (B12) can realize rapid kinetic adsorption and complete removal of Cr(VI) and cationic dye pollutants at low concentrations. The reversible adsorption/desorption process of pollutants represents that PA/B12 has practical industrial use value.
