A facile approach is employed for the preparation of hierarchically porous structures monolithic ordered macroporous-mesoporous silica materials (OMS) using the commercially available and cheap polyurethane (PU) foam as monolithic template, triblock copolymer P123 (EO20PO70EO20) as structure-directing agent and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source, then monolithic ordered macro porous-mesoporous carbon materials (OMC) is synthesized by using monolithic ordered macroporous-mesoporous silica materials as hard template and ionic liquids as the carbon source. The silica and carbon monoliths possess uniform pore sizes (3.74-3.84 nm) and ordered mesostructure.

A series of mesoporous silica materials (SBA-15, MCM-41, KIT-6) with different pore structures and properties were synthesized and characterized by means of small angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The adsorption properties of three mesoporous silica materials for chlorine ions in aqueous solution were investigated. The results show that SBA-15, MCM-41 with two-dimensional hexagonal structure has a better adsorption effect on chloride ion than KIT-6 With cubic core structure, and MCM-41 with larger specific surface area and smaller pore size has better adsorption effect on chloride ion than on SBA-15. The specific surface area of MCM-41 is 1036 m2/g, and the The adsorption kinetics accords with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm is more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model. The optimum operating conditions for MCM-41 to adsorb chloride ions are as follows: temperature 55 °C, pH 6, adsorption time 2 h, Cl- concentration 0.01 mol/L (584 mg/L) and adsorbent concentration 1.0 g/L. Under these conditions, the adsorption capacity of MCM-41 to chloride ions is greatly enhanced, and the maximum adsorption capacity is 188.18 mg/g.

It is recognized that recycling and reuse of waste can result in significant savings in materials and energy. In this research, the adsorption of methyl blue (MB) using waste rice husk ash (Rha) and mesoporous silica materials made from Rha (R-MCM) were analyzed. Mesoporous silica materials were synthesized using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a cationic surfactant and Rha as the silica source. The prepared samples were characterized by Brunnaur-Emmet-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherm analyzer and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. The results showed the surface area of R-MCM materials was 1347 m2g−1 and the pore volume was 0.906 cm3g−1. TEM analysis showed that the mesoporous materials generally exhibited ordered hexagonal arrays of mesopores with a uniform pore size. The effects on adsorption performance under different initial dye concentrations, different pH values and different dosages of adsorbent were also studied. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The results show that the maximum removal efficiency of MB more than 99%.

Lysozyme and BSA were used, as model proteins of considerably different dimensions, in order to evaluate the influence of the distinct pore structural characteristics of three types of ordered mesoporous silica materials (MCF, SBA-15 and MCM-41) on protein adsorption. Characterisation by X ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption at 77K revealed the typical pore structural features of each type of material. The maximum of the pore size distributions indicated that the width of the windows of MCF (2) (mesitylene/P123 of 2) was larger than the pore diameter of the unidirectional tubular pores of SBA-15. All the materials presented similar small external surface areas but high pore volumes, with that of MCF (2) being the highest. The adsorption of lysozyme at pH=8 increased in the order MCM-41<< SBA-15< MCF (2), and the uptakes were well above those of BSA at pH=5. Although BSA is not completely excluded from the mesopores of SBA-15 and MCF (2), as happens with MCM-41, the adsorption occurs to a very limited extent. The overall behaviour of these SBA-15 and MCF (2) samples was not significantly different and both revealed potential for the separation of these proteins.
