Amino-terminated SiO2-Al2O3 composite aerogels from fly ash for improved removal of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in wastewater: one-pot synthesis, excellent adsorption capacity and mechanism
Abstract:In this study, by using a sol-gel grafting-atmospheric drying method, amino-terminated SiO2-Al2O3 composite aerogels, namely 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) or 3-(2-amino-ethoxy) propylmethyldimethoxysilane (AEAPMDS) modified SiO2-Al2O3 aerogels (AMSAAs), were synthesized from the fly ash, and verified as excellent sorbents for removing heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions) from wastewater. The effects of modification conditions and testing parameters including pH value, adsorbent dose, initial ions conce… Show more
