Abstract

A directly amine-functionalized mesoporous silica (AMS) was prepared via an anionic surfactant-mediated synthesis method and used as adsorbents for deep removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution at room temperature. The synthesized AMS had been characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption measurement, and thermogravimetric analysis. The amine groups prefer to position to the surface of AMS material due to the S−N+ ∼ I− mechanism. Copper adsorption process had been studied from both kinetic and equilibrium points of view for AMS material. Experiments proved that the aqueous Cu2+ adsorption rates were fast and adsorption capacity was about 53.3 mg/g.
