Abstract
This work reports the amine and mercapto bi-functionalized mesoporous silica MCM-41 for heavy metal ions removal from aqueous solutions. XRD, FTIR and N2 adsorption–desorption analyses confirmed that a series of bi-functionalized mesoporous silica MCM-41 with huge specific surface area were successfully obtained. In aqueous solution, the adsorption performance were evaluated by the adsorption of Zn(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Pb(II). The obtained results indicate that synthesis process has no significant influence on the structure and the existence of functional group resulted in outstanding adsorption capacity. The methodology of pre-hydrolysis was one effective treatment for grafting useful functional group on to mesoporous silica. The adsorption reactions for the adsorption of heavy metal ions by bi-functionalized silica-based mesoporous materials were spontaneous adsorption processes over the range of experimental temperatures. The adsorption isotherm is consistent with the Freundlich adsorption isotherms model. The Freundlich parameters KF and n indicated favorable adsorption. The adsorption kinetics of heavy metalions over these bi-functionalized mesoporous silica could be well described by pseudo-second-order models. Therefore, this bi-functionalized mesoporous material has promise for the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from water.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
