“…Both NaMt and Fe(II)Mt, which were selected on the basis of their different behaviors in aqueous media and in ozonation [34,38,46], were further air-dried at 40 • C overnight. SBA-15 was synthesized by dissolving 6 g Pluronic P123 copolymer (EO20-PO70-EO20, supplied by Sigma-Aldrich) in 45 g deionized nanopure water at room temperature, then adding 180 g of 2 M aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 37%, Fluka), stirring for 30 min at 27 • C, and adding 12 g tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, 98%, Sigma-Aldrich) and stirring at 40 • C for 20 h [70,72,74,92]. The resulting white powder was filtered, washed with water, air dried and calcined at 773 K for 6 h at a 1 K•min −1 heating rate.…”
