A new thioether functionalized organic-inorganic mesoporous composite as a highly selective and capacious Hg2+ adsorbent.
A new thioether functionalized organic-inorganic ordered mesoporous composite as a highly selective and capacious Hg2+ adsorbent was synthesized by one-step co-condensation of (1,4)-bis(triethoxysilyl)propane tetrasufide (BTESPTS, (CH3CH2O)3Si(CH2)3S-S-S-S(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), with tri-block copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) EO20PO70EO20 as template.
