Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were successfully synthesized by using hard template and soft template methods. These materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, and N2adsorption-desorption Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). From the obtained results, it is revealed that the obtained OMCs samples showed high surface area (>1000 m2/g) with high pore volume, mainly mesopore volume (1.2–2.4 cm3/g). Moreover, OMCs samples had similar structure of the SBA-15 silica and exhibited high MB adsorption capacity withqmof 398 mg·g−1for OMCs synthesis with hard template and 476 mg·g−1for OMCs synthesis with soft template, respectively. From kinetics investigation, it is confirmed that MB adsorption from aqueous solution obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation.

Mag@silica-Ag composite has a high sorption ability for I− in aqueous solution due to its high surface area and strong affinity for the studied anion. The material adsorbed I− rapidly during the initial contact time (in 45 min, η = 80%) and reached adsorption equilibrium after 2 h. Moreover, mag@silica-Ag proved to selectively remove I− from a mixture of Cl−, NO3− and I−. The adsorption behavior fitted the Langmuir isotherm perfectly and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity of mag@silica-Ag was 0.82 mmol/g, which is significantly higher than previously developed adsorbents. This study introduces a practical application of a high-capacity adsorbent in removing radioactive I− from wastewaters.

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were prepared using SBA-15 as the template and sucrose as the precursor. Various different mesoporous materials (CMK-3-80, CMK-3-90, CMK-3-100 and CMK-Na2SiO3-3-90) were synthesized employing different conditions. The pore structures and characteristics of the OMC materials were evaluated using XRD, SEM and nitrogen adsorption studies, respectively, and their adsorption properties towards phenol and dyes were investigated. The results showed that the order of the pore diameter in the mesoporous materials followed the sequence: CMK-3-100 > CMK-3-90 > CMK-3-80 > CMK-Na2SiO3-3-90. Adsorption experiments revealed that the mesoporous carbons prepared possessed larger adsorption capacities towards phenol and the Reactive dyes Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine Blue (RB) relative to commercial active carbon. Adsorption kinetics experiments showed that the rates of adsorption of MB and RB onto CMK-3 differed in line with the difference in pore size. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics of MB and RB onto CMK-3 could be well described by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms indicated that the equilibrium adsorption capacities of the two dyes onto CMK-3 were not the same and could not be correlated with either the relative magnitudes of the mesopore surface areas or the mesopore volumes.
