In this work, adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to remove the acid blue 62 off the aqueous solutions using mesoporous silicate SBA-15 loaded with tannic acid (tannin-SBA-15). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption test (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis characterize synthesized composite. The impacts of some parameters such as P...

Interest in and thereby also development of ordered mesoporous silicates as drug delivery devices have grown immensely over the past few years. On hand selected cases from the literature, the power of such systems as delivery devices has been established. Specifically, it is shown how it is possible to enhance the release kinetics of poorly soluble drugs by embedding them in mesoporous silicate...

This work focuses on the support effect of performances Co based catalysts for acetic acid steam reforming. SBA-15, a well ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica structure, and CeO2 have been selected as supports, with impact chromium addition also being investigated. Better reforming recorded compared to SBA-15 supported and, in particular, 7Co/CeO2 catalyst showed highest values conversions enha...

1. 1. Well-ordered Mesoporous Materials FSM-16 and M41S materials with regularly ordered mesopore arrangements and narrow pore-size distributions were fi rst described in the early 1990s1),2), and the mesostructures of silica and various metal oxides have since attracted much attention from chemists and materials scientists because of emerging applications in catalysis, adsorption, sensors, and...

Aminopropyl-functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica was used as a support to adsorb myoglobin. Then, in order to avoid the leakage of adsorbed myoglobin, lysozyme was covalently tethered to the internal and external surface of the mesoporous silica with glutaraldehyde as the coupling agent. The property of amino-functionalized mesoporous silica was characterized by N(2) adsorption-desorption an...

While enzymes are valuable tools in many fields of biotechnology, they are fragile and must be protected against denaturing conditions such as unfavorable solution pH. Within living organisms, chaperonins help enzymes fold into their native shape and protect them from damage. Inspired by this natural solution, mesoporous silica SBA-15 with different pore diameters is synthesized as a support ma...

A novel hybrid material (SBA-P1) is prepared through the functionalization of mesoporous silica (SBA-15) with a 1,8-naphthalimide-based dye by sol-gel reaction. The characterization results of elemental analysis (EA), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) and spectroscopic methods demonstrate the fluorescence dye P1 is successfully grafted onto the inner surface of SBA-15 and the organized structur...

The recognition of the biologically and environmentally important ions is of great interest in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. The fluorescent sensors as a powerful optical analytical technique for the detection of low level of various analytes such as anions and metal cations have been progressively developed due to the simplicity, cost effective, and selectivity for monitoring ...

SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as a catalyst. This mesoporous silica due to silanol groups is easily functionalized by various organic materials. A new acidic ordered functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-Aminopropyl-Benzyl-SO3H) has been introduced as an efficient catalyst for ...
