Studies on involvement of backbone of a polymer to bind cupric ion at lower pH
Author(s): Aloke Chattopadhyay
Abstract: Aqueous solution of guargum-graft-acrylamide (G-g-Am) and cupric nitrate solution mixture forms a green mass when pH is raised from acidic medium by adding ammonium hydroxide. UV spectral study indicates at lower pH interaction may take place between–CONH2 group of G-g-Am and Cu2+. At this pH, interaction is loose. Ultrasonic study indicates, ultrasonic attenuation from pH=>4 to pH=>6 is abnormal probably due to peculiar absence of involvement of backbone of polymer in the association below pH=>6.
