Anatase particles (40-60 nm) were coated with anorganosilane monolayer terminated with an ethylenediamine(EDA) ligand. These functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs)were then treated with an aqueous solution of Cu(II) tocreate a cationic Cu-EDA complex bound to the nanoparticlesurface. Cu(II) and EDA ligand incorporation wereconfirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)analysis. The Cu(EDA)2 FNP was then studied for its bindingaffinity for pertechnetate anion from a Hanford groundwatermatrix. The Cu(EDA)2 FNP was also evaluated for itsinjectability into a porous medium for possible applicationas a subsurface semipermeable reactive barrier. Injectionwas readily accomplished, and resulted in a highly uniformdistribution of the FNP sorbent in the test column.
