Abstract
This study is focused on the use of a hybrid organic-inorganic silica (Silica-SOM) for the removal of Rhodamine B dye (RhB) from water media. Because of its hybrid structure, Silica-SOM has the unique property of being swellable in the presence of an organic solvent, thus increasing the volume available for pollutants adsorption. The adsorption capacity of the Silica-SOM to adsorb RhB from water media has been determined. In particular, if the material is previously swollen with an organic solvent, it is able to sequester more than 99 % of dye molecules in a 1.0 × 10−5 M RhB solution in less than 1 h at ambient conditions. In addition, the ability of Silica-SOM to be re-generated by mild sonication in ethanol after one RhB adsorption cycle was tested for the first time: the material was easily regenerated and used for six consecutive adsorption cycles; in each of them there is no loss in adsorption performance, which remains quantitatively high and extremely fast.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
