Abstract

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) methods were used for investigation of manganese dioxide (MnO2)–containing composite sorbents and their sorption properties were evaluated as well. A characterization of the sorbents was performed by SEM and XRF. Diatomite and silicagel were used as the porous carrier for the MnO2 (which provides the functionality of the sorbents). The silica component was prepared by co-precipitation of water glass with manganese dioxide. Potassium permanganate is used as a source of manganese dioxide. Deposition of MnO2 was carried on the pore surfaces of porous materials (silica, diatomite) by means of hydrogen peroxide and formaldehyde. The sorbent prepared under the previously described procedure was tested for compounds containing potassium (K+).
