The uncontrolled dissemination of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants into the water bodies is a major concern that demands immediate action to protect the environment. In the present endeavour, a polyaniline based nanocomposite polyaniline Tin(IV)iodophosphate has been synthesized by the sol-gel method and its practical utility in environmental pollution remediation has been studied. The composite material found to possess an ion exchange capacity of 1.72 meq g-1 for Na+ ions. The characterization of the material using FTIR and SEM shows the formation of composite with characteristic functional properties and uniform surface morphology. The agglomeration of inorganic moiety into the polymer matrix offers pores foe sorption of toxic heavy metal ions. The selectivity of the synthesized nanocomposite towards Pb2+ ion has been utilized in the selective removal of Pb2+ from industrial effluent. The selective removal of the contagious metal ion from the wastewater reflects the potential of the synthesized nanocomposite in environmental pollution remediation.
