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%.

The silica-based mesoporous materials were synthesized under normal atmospheric with Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) as surfactant, TEOS as silica source and hydrochloric acid as activator. The pore sizes distribution of mesoporous materials were adjusted by organic assistant reagent TMB(1,3,5-three toluol).The materials after and before TMB addition were characterized through XRD and IR. The results showed that the materials have regular hexagonal mesoporous structure. The structure is more regular and pore size is more bigger after TMB added.

The micro-mesoporous materials ZF-x (ZSM-5-FDU-12, x = SiO2/Al2O3) with different molar ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 were synthesized by an in situ nano-assembly method with the ZSM-5 precursor serving as the silica source.
