Synthesis and characterization of Nano-fibers ETS-10 / PAN

In this paper, Nano fibers (Engelhard Corporation titanosilicate number 10 / polyacrylonitrile) ETS-10 / PAN, as a composite exchanger to absorb heavy metals, were synthesized and optimized. Several parameters were affected on this absorption. Results show that the optimization sizes of the Nano fibers are about 75 nanometers. Structures were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDAX). Furthermore, identification and measurement of the pore and absorbent surface to volume ratio was performed with BET analysis.
