The objective of the present research was to synthesize, characterize and to investigate the removal efficiency of lead (II) ion from synthetic lead solution by a hybrid fibrous ion exchanger. In the present study polyacrylamide thorium (IV) phosphate was synthesized by co-precipitation method and was characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR and TGA-DSC. To know the practical applicability, a detailed removal study of lead ion was carried out. The removal of lead was 52.9% under neutral condition, and using 0.4 g of adsorbent in 100 mL of lead solution having initial concentration of 100 mg/L. Adsorption kinetic study revealed that the adsorption process followed first order kinetics. Adsorption data were fitted to linearly transformed Langmuir isotherm with R(2) (correlation coefficient)>0.99. Thermodynamic parameters were also calculated to study the effect of temperature on the removal process. In order to understand the adsorption type, equilibrium data were tested with Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. The percentage removal was found to increase gradually with increase in pH and 99% removal was achieved at pH 10. The process was rapid and equilibrium was established within first 30 min.

Water-soluble sulfolignin (SL) was grafted onto hydroxyapatite (Hap) by using epichlorohydrin. SLgHap was then entrapped in cross-linked polyacrylamide by in situ polymerizations of acrylamide and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide to obtain the composite of PSLgHap. The composite was characterized by FT-IR, BET- porosity, XRD, EDXRF, SEM-EDX, TGA-DTG, PZC, CEC, and swelling tests.

A gamma radiation induced free radical copolymerization technique was used to synthesize the copolymer composite of gum--poly(AAm). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the graft copolymer gum--poly(AAm).

In 80-90% tumor cells, telomerase becomes active and stabilizes the length of telomeres. The formation and stabilization of G-quadruplexes formed from human telomeric sequences have been proved able to inhibit the activity of telomerase, thus human telomeric G-quadruplex structure has become a potential target for the development of cancer therapy. Hence, structure of G-quadruplex formed in K(+) solution has been an attractive hotspot for further studies.

Micro-composite of polyacrylamide (PAA) and apatite (Apt) was prepared by direct polymerization of acrylamide in a suspension of Apt and characterized by means of FT-IR, XRD, SEM and BET analysis. The adsorptive features of PAA-Apt and Apt were then investigated for Pb(2+), UO(2)(2+) and Th(4+) in view of dependency on ion concentration, temperature, kinetics, ion selectivity and reusability. Experimentally obtained isotherms were evaluated with reference to Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) models.
