Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica and its Adsorption Properties for Chloride Ions

Abstract:

A series of mesoporous silica materials (SBA-15, MCM-41, KIT-6) with different pore structures and properties were synthesized and characterized by means of small angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The adsorption properties of three mesoporous silica materials for chlorine ions in aqueous solution were investigated. The results show that SBA-15, MCM-41 with two-dimensional hexagonal structure has a better adsorption effect on chloride ion than KIT-6 With cubic core structure, and MCM-41 with larger specific surface area and smaller pore size has better adsorption effect on chloride ion than on SBA-15. The specific surface area of MCM-41 is 1036 m²/g, and the The adsorption kinetics accords with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm is more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model. The optimum operating conditions for MCM-41 to adsorb chloride ions are as follows: temperature 55 °C, pH 6, adsorption time 2 h, Cl^- concentration 0.01 mol/L (584 mg/L) and adsorbent concentration 1.0 g/L. Under these conditions, the adsorption capacity of MCM-41 to chloride ions is greatly enhanced, and the maximum adsorption capacity is 188.18 mg/g.
