Heat treatment effect on synthesis of mesoporous silica

Mesoporous Silica의 제조에 열처리가 끼치는 영향

Mesoporous silica, MCM-41, was synthesized by sol-gel method. The organic structure-directing agent must be removed to make the desired proes. To achieve this, alternative calcination method using microwave oven was adapted to this removal stage. Microwave calcination was shown to provide a novel, rapid and inexpensive method of praparing nanoporous material. It was studied how the porous structure, surface area and pore size distribution were changes under microwave calcination.
