Abstract
Novel phenol-capturer was prepared by modifying the as-synthesized mesoporous silica MCM-41 with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), not only saving the energy and time for removal of template, but also opening the way to utilize the micelles for adsorption. Once the organic modifier was distributed in the template micelle of MCM-41 to form a web within the mesoporous channel, the composite could adsorb more phenols in gas stream than activated carbon for the first time. With an unwonted high adsorption capacity, this mesoporous silica-amine composite represented potential application for trapping phenols, especially in tobacco smoke to protect environment.
