In this study, mesoporous MCM-41 has been modified by incorporation of aluminum ion asa rapid, simple and inexpensive method for modification. The adsorbent is characterized usingpowder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm data. The distributioncoefficient of cadmium ion on the mesoporous aluminosilicates has been enhanced with theincrease of the aluminum in the framewo...
