Abstract

In this study, Mesoporous silica were prepared from hydrothermal synthesis using gel mixture of tetraethylorthosilcate (TEOS) as silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr) as a template. In the optimum synthesis cause, molar ratio of template and silica changed. The surface and structure properties of Mesoporous silica were determined by XRD, SEM, and BET. N$_2$ adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area(S$_{BET}$), total pore volume(V$_T$), and average pore diameter(D$_{BJH}$), were determined by BET. Also, the adsorption character of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ion on Mesoporous silica were measured using ICP. As a result, a SBET of 100$\sim$1,500 m$^2$/g was determined from the N$_2$ adsorption isotherm. Also, the average pore diameter of 2$\sim$4 nm. The adsorption of Pb ion and Cd ion on Mesoporous silica become different depending on the pH of solution. The adsorption amount of Mesoporus silica had higher than that of silicagel.

본 연구에서는 실리카 원으로 tetraethylorthosilcate(TEOS)를 이용하고, template로 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr)을 사용하여 메조포러스 실리카(mesoporous silica)를 수열합성 하였다. 최적의 합성 조건을 알기 위해 template와 실리카의 몰비를 조절하였다. 메조포러스 실리카의 표면 성질과 구조는 XRD, SEM 그리고 BET를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 비표면적($S_{BET}$), 전체 기공부피(V$_T$), 그리고 평균 기공지름(D$_{BJH}$)을 포함하는 N$_2$ 등온 흡착 특성은 BET식을 이용하여 확인하였다. 또한, 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb(II)와 Cd(II)의 흡착 특성은 Zeta potential과 ICP를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, N$_2$ 등온 흡착으로부터 S$_{BET}$는 100$\sim$1,500 m$^2$/g이었으며, 평균 기공 크기는 2$\sim$4 nm이었다. 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb이온과 Cd이온의 흡착 특성은 용액의 pH변화에 의존하였고, 기존의 흡착제인 실리카겔보다 더 좋은 흡착 거동을 보였다.
