Adsorption Performance of Mesoporous Silicas towards a Cationic Dye. Influence of Mesostructure on Adsorption Capacity
Abstract
Abstract The dye adsorption performance of four mesoporous silicas with different structure and textural properties, MCM ‐41, MCM ‐48, SBA ‐15 and mesocellular silica foam ( MCF ), was studied and compared by using toluidine blue O ( TBO ) as dye model in aqueous solution. These materials were characterized by X‐ray diffraction ( XRD ), small‐angle X‐ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption‐desorption analyses, and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM ). The effect of some parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and pH on the TBO removal in aqueous solution was studied. Results showed that adsorption capacity raised when adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH solution were increased while an increase in temperature decreased the adsorption of TBO . Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were employed to elucidate the adsorption mechanism while the adsorption rate data were analyzed according to the pseudo‐first and second‐order kinetic models. Results showed that adsorption of TBO onto MCM ‐48, SBA ‐15, and MCF fitted well the Freundlich isotherm model while the kinetic studies showed that adsorption process could be better described by the pseudo‐second‐order model for all mesoporous silicas. Finally, some solvents were evaluated to carried out dye desorption from the TBO ‐loaded mesoporous silicas founding that acetic acid was the most efficient.

Mesocellular foam silica molecular sieves are expected to be a suitable adsorption material because they have a large-diameter spherical chamber and a uniform window.
“In comparison to mesoporous materials, mesocellular foam silica molecular sieves have a large-diameter spherical chamber and a uniform window, so they are expected to be a suitable adsorption material [21].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
