Uses
Application to the Extraction of Heavy Metals. Recent works using phosphonic acid PA) molecules have demonstrated the ability of 12-mercaptododecylphosphonic acid (MDPA)to strengthen the bond between Au and TiO 2 , leading to an increase in h K.
General Description
12-Mercaptododecylphosphonic acid (MDPA) is an organophosphonic acid that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The phosphonic groups tend to react with the metal surfaces that allow the formation of metal-oxygen-phosphonate (M-O-P) bonds that facilitate the surface with mechanical and chemical stability.
