title: Aqueous heavy metals removal on amine-functionalized Si-MCM-41 and Si-MCM-48.
abstract: Ordered mesoporous silica with hexagonal and cubic structure, type MCM-41 and MCM-48 respectively, were synthesized under basic media using pure silica, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetramethylammonium hydroxide, for MCM-41 and tetraethylorthosilica, cetyltrimethylammonium and NaOH for MCM-48. The expanded materials were prepared by post-synthesis method with N-N dimethyldodecylamine (DMDDA) and dodecylamine (DDA). Small angle X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, FT-IR and thermogravimetry were used to characterize the samples. The expanded materials were tested for adsorption of Cd(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+) and Pb(2+) in aqueous solution. Aminated materials were found to be fast adsorbents for metallic ions cation with affinity for Cu(2+), Pb(2+), than for Cd(2+) and Co(2+) from single solution. In mixed metallic ions cation solutions, competition by the adsorption sites is likely to occur, the adsorption preference is for Cu(2+)and Pb(2+). The kinetic of the reaction is very rapid and follow pseudo-second order and clearly indicated that Langmuir model describe better the for metal ions adsorption on aminated mesoporous material than Freundlich model.
