    Highly selective mesoporous sorbents for mercury removal from industrial wastewater
    (University of the Western Cape, 2011) Godongwana, Ziboneni Governor; Iwuoha, Emmanuel. I.; Petrik, Leslie. F.; Dept. of Chemistry; Faculty of Science
    The results of this study show that novel mesoporous carbons were obtained as inverse replica of SBA-15, HMS and MCM-41 silica templates, with a large pore diameter (2-4 nm), a BET surface area of 1867, 874 and 910 m2g–1 respectively for CA_SBA-15_LPG_105, CA_HMS_LPG_80 and CA_MCM- 41_LPG_80 with bimodal pore size distribution (PSD) in the mesopores range. The results obtained show that mesoporous carbon with graphitic structures can be synthesized via the LPG route.
