Study on the Volatile Organic Compounds Removal with Mesoporous Catalysts Made from Solar Panel

摘要

In this research,the adsorption of Toluene was tested with MCM-41 and mesoporous silica materials synthesized from spent solar panel and glass.The synthesized solution was mixed with cationic cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactants.The prepared adsorbents were characterized by nitrogen adsorption – desorption analysis,transmission electron microscope,scanning electron microscope - energy dispersive spectroscopy,X-ray powder diffractometer and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The results showed that the surface area,large pore volume and pore diameter could be up to 1280m2 g-1,0.82cm3 g-1 and 2.62 nm,respectively.The crystal patterns of mesoporous silica materials were similar of MCM-41 from TEM image.In this study,the effects of operation parameters,such as contact time and mixture concentration,on adsorption performance were also assessed.
