摘要: Cubic cage-type KIT-5 mesoporous silica functionalized with carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups, ranging from 0 to 45 mol% based on silica, were synthesized viaco-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and carboxyethylsilanetriol sodium salt (CES) in the presence of Pluronic F127 in acidic media. The materials thus obtained were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis, acid-base titration, and solid-state NMR measurements. The -COOH functionalized KIT-5 was used to adsorb different types of dyes such as phenosafranine (PF), methylene blue (MB), orange II (OII) and rhodamine B (RhB). The -COOH functionalized KIT-5 materials exhibited excellent adsorption capacities for cationic PF and MB, and amphoteric RhB in comparison to pure silica KIT-5, but the opposite for anionic OII. The adsorption was highly dependent on the electrostatic interaction between the adsorbent and the dye molecules. External mass transfer and intra-particle diffusion collectively control the adsorption process. 出版日期: 2014-01-01 出處: RSC advances, 2014-01, Vol.4 (90), p.49061-49069 資源來源: Royal Society of Chemistry 識別號: ISSN: 2046-2069 識別號: EISSN: 2046-2069 識別號: DOI: 10.1039/C4RA08819K
