Abstract

MCM-41 was selectively functionalized with CuO on the external surface and Cu2+ coordinated by organosilanes on the internal surface. The production of CuO and removal of template were achieved in one step, which is convenient and a save of energy. Results of transmission electron microscopy indicate the presence of CuO on outer surface of MCM-41. The successful grafting of organosilanes was confirmed by 13C and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance. The prepared M(CuO)N(Cu) shows more comprehensive desulfurization performance due to the simultaneous and independent incorporation of CuO and copper ions. Dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide are selectively adsorbed on external surface of M(CuO)N(Cu), while tert-butyl mercaptan can be adsorbed on both external and internal surface of M(CuO)N(Cu).
