Abstract

A porous silica gel with both COOH and NH2 groups was synthesized in one pot by the addition of l-glutamic acid (l-GA) into a synthesis medium consisting of tetraethyl orthosilicate, water, ethanol, and 1-butylamine. The inclusion of l-GA in the as-synthesized product (l-GA-SiO2) was evidenced by FT-IR and TG measurements. The l-GA was chemically bonded with silica as indicated by the shift of FT-IR bands at 1510 and 1400 cm−1 in the spectrum of l-GA to higher wavenumbers of 1540 and 1460 cm−1 in the one of l-GA-SiO2. The TG analysis showed that the l-GA-SiO2 had an increase of weight loss by 5.6% due to the decomposition of the included l-GA which was centered at around 313 °C, suggested by a new peak in the DTG curve. Compared with the one synthesized without l-GA, the l-GA-SiO2 was more aggregated with smaller surface area. However, the latter showed a higher removal efficiency by 17.1% toward zinc ions in water than the former and the adsorbed ions were hardly released again into water from the used adsorbent.
