Abstract
Three methods were used to synthesize sulfur-functionalized silica materials with spherical morphology: (a) impregnation of CS2 and S-8 onto preformed silica support (MCM-TEOS); (b) co-condensation of TEOS and BTESPT/MPTMS; and (c) direct use of BTESPT and MPTMS as precursors. The presence of sulfur functional groups in the synthesized adsorbents was confirmed by the FTIR and EDX analyses. Lower pore arrangements and pore characteristics of sulfur-functionalized silicas were found which were observed from the XRD and nitrogen adsorption desorption analysis. However, these samples showed higher adsorption capacity than silica without sulfur. The highest Hg(II) adsorption capacity (47.50 mg/g) was obtained by the MPTMS-SMs(I) adsorbent synthesized through the co-condensation method.
