Novel Monolithic Adsorbent for Phthalate Extraction from Water
Abstract:Abstract-A novel synthesis of C-18 silica monolithic material in a glass syringe was achieved via a sol-gel method using tetramethoxy othosilicate (TMOS) and trimethoxy(octadecyl)silane (C18-TMOS) as precursors to control surface and pores. The main problems of typical silica monolith fabrication were cracking and shrinkage; however, such problems were solved by a two-step synthesis in this work. It was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the monolithic structure that the interconnected pa… Show more
