Tetramethyl porphyrine encapsulated in zeolite as ion exchanger for removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+

In this study Fe(II) tetramethyl porphyrin have been synthesized and used as a ion exchenger for removal of heavy metal cations. This heterogenized ion exchanger was characterized by different methods and was used for separation Pb2+ and Cu2+ from aqueous solution. The results show that metalloporphyrin encapsulated in zeolite hold great potential to remove cationic heavy metal species from industrial wastewater.
