Abstract

Trimodal porous tetrametallosilicate macrospheres were synthesized by incorporation of metallic ions (Ce, Al, Zr and Zn) within the silica framework using a mono or multi templating method. In this work the chitosan played a dual role (pore and shape generating agent), while the other biomaterials including starch, gelatine, alginate, glucose, agar and yeast cells were used as pore generators. The samples were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray dispersive energy, X-ray diffraction and water sorption techniques. The specific surface areas, pore volumes and mean pore diameters determined from water sorption isotherms vary depending on the nature of the template. The hierarchical distribution of the pore sizes confirmed by the SEM analyses and the adsorption data is caused on the one hand by the structural differences between the materials used as templates and on the other hand by the high number of heteroatoms incorporated within the inorganic framework. The FTIR studies showed that Ce, Al, Zr and Zn ions were incorporated within the silica framework. Wide angle XRD patterns demonstrated that all the metallosilicate samples have an amorphous structure. The obtained hierarchical materials exhibit good mechanical, thermical and chemical stability. Due to their size and hardness they can be easily handled, recovered and reused. These new materials are highly demanded for the development of advanced materials with applications in adsorption, separation, catalysis and electronics.
