Abstract
Comparative Adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) by MCM-48 and Amine-Grafted MCM-48 in Single and Binary Component Systems
Highlights
Heavy metal contamination has turned into a one of the most significant environmental issues today, becaused they are poisonous and carcinogenic, even in low concentration, can accumulate throughout the food chain [1,2,3]
MCM-48 was prepared based on the method of wang et al [14]
Several other diffraction peaks with lower intensities are shown in the high angle region of 2θ= 4o-6o, which can be indexed (321), (400), (420), (322), (422), (431), (611) and (543) diffraction peaks. These finding indicate the presence of highly ordered cubic pore in the structure of MCM-48
Summary
Heavy metal contamination has turned into a one of the most significant environmental issues today, becaused they are poisonous and carcinogenic, even in low concentration, can accumulate throughout the food chain [1,2,3]. Several techniques for heavy metal elimination from wastewater is available such as filtration [4], reverse osmosis [5], coagulation – flocculation, ion exchange [6], precipitation [7] and adsorption [8, 9]. Adsorption has developed one of the few promising method for treatment of industrial wastewater, especially using efficient adsorbent. Mesoporous silica materials have capability to be use in the field of environment, due to the high surface area, specific structure, narrow pore size distribution, homogeneous pore size and their biocompatibility [10,11,12]. Surface functionalization of ordered mesoporous silica with different functional groups such as amines is important to acquire large adsorption capacity
