A magnetic nanoparticle conjugated mesoporous nanocatalyst (Fe(3)O(4)@mesoporous SBA-15) with a high surface area has been synthesized by chemical conjugation of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles with functionalized mesoporous SBA-15. Functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 containing surface carboxyl and amino groups was synthesized via the thiol-ene click reaction of cysteine hydrochloride and vin...

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 was synthesized using P123 as surfactant and functionalized with (3-chloropropyl) triethoxysilane. For the first time, the composite of THPP-SBA-15 was prepared using incorporation of tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin in functionalized SBA-15. The materials were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, FT-IR, DRS, and UV–Vis spectroscopy techniques. The synthesized composite wa...

In the present work, results of γ-irradiation on normal and functionalized SBA-15 by aurintricarboxylic acid have been reported. Characterization of normal and functionalized SBA-15 particles before and after γ-irradiation was carried out using Fourier-transform infrared technique. Aurintricarboxylic acid ligand connected to SBA-15 was also analyzed using UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The modified ...

Cyanide-functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 (CN/SBA-15) with pore diameters larger than 6 nm has been prepared by a one-pot synthesis. The structure of CN/SBA-15 is affected by the amount of the functional silane 2-cyanoethyltriethoxysilane (CTES) and the conditions of co-condensation in the acidic aqueous solution of the triblock copolymer Pluronic P123: whereas direct mixing of the silica...

The oxidation of naphthalene by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor has been performed using diverse immobilization strategies on mesostructured silica materials. Laccase was immobilized by physical adsorption on several SBA-15 with different textural properties and by covalent attachment on functionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation method (direct synthesis). The adsorption of ...

SBA-CaCl 2 (SCa) composites with high CaCl content were prepared using the non-functionalized and methyl-and carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 supports their thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) performance have been investigated a TG/DSC system coupled humidity generator. This paper presents influence of silica (SBA-15) functionalization on structural-textural properties SCa consequently...

Hexagonal mesoporous silica (SBA-15) was prepared and then functionalized by(3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The obtained 3-mercaptopropyl functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-Pr-SH) was then oxidized using H2O2 in methanol under an acidic condition to give sulfonic acid functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H). Th...

A protonated polyaniline-functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica nanomaterial (H(+)-PANI/SBA-15) with high surface area and ideal surface properties for the adsorption of anionic dyes is synthesized. Compared with the conventional emeraldine salt of polyaniline (H(+)-PANI), H(+)-PANI/SBA-15 has a significantly higher adsorption capacity for the anionic dye Orange G and is a more effective sorbe...

Mesoporous silica, SBA-15 was successfully functionalized with quinoline moiety, and was applied as a matrix in the MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of small molecules. The modified SBA-15 material [SBA-15-8-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propoxy) quinoline, SBA-15-8QSi] was obtained by using calcined SBA-15 and 8-hydroxy quinoline. The structure of the functionalized mesoporous material was systemically characterize...

Batch Adsorption of Acid Red 37 (AR37) and Basic Orange 2 (BO2) on amino ethyl-functionalized SBA-15 have been studied. SBA-15 was synthesized and functionalized according to the procedure in the literature. Amino ethyl-functionalized SBA-15 showed the BET surface area 520 m2/g and pore diameter 7.02 nm, based on adsorption-desorption of N2. SEM image shows lengthy fib...
