A mesoporous silica was synthesized by annealing (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane grafted chitosan at 800˚C. The mesoporous silica was characterized by the XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. The BET specific surface area and pore size of silica was found to be 178.42 m2/g and 4.13 nm. The mesoporous silica was then employed for the efficient remediation of aqueous solutions contaminated with Cu(II) under batch and column reactor operations. The mesoporous silica showed extremely high per cent removal of Cu(II) at wide pH range i.e., pH ~2.0 to 7.0. Relatively a fast uptake of Cu(II) was occurred and high percentage removal was obtained at initial concentrations studied from 1.0 to 15.0 mg/L. The equilibrium state sorption data were utilized for the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm studies. Moreover, the effect of an increase in background electrolyte concentrations from 0.0001 to 0.1 mol/L NaNO3 was assessed for the uptake of Cu(II) by mesoporous silica. The equilibrium sorption was achieved within 240 min of contact and the kinetic data is best fitted to the pseudo-second-order and fractal like pseudo-second-order kinetic models. In addition, the mesoporous silica was used for dynamic studies under column reactor operations. The breakthrough curve was then used for the non-linear fitting of the Thomas equation and the loading capacity of the column for Cu(II) was estimated.

Impregnation of mesoporous silica MCM-41 on metal organic framework type HKUST-1 or often called CuBTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) has been successfully carried out by solvothermal methods in a solvent mixture of water, ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The XRD patterns of the obtained solids showed that MCM-41/HKUST-1 composites had the same crystalline phase as pure as HKUST-1. SEM images revealed that the impregnation of the mesoporous silica to HKUST-1 did not alter the surface morphology of the original HKUST-1, which had octahedral shapes. In addition, the thermal stability of the MCM-41/HKUST-1 composites reached 302 °C, increased by 292 °C in comparison to the HKUST-1, even though the impregnation process resulted in a decreased in the specific surface area of the composites. Furthermore, MCM-41/HKUST-1 composites showed outstanding performance as adsorbent of methylene blue and Congo red in aqueous solutions. Results of adsorption studies showed that a pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm were observed for both types of dyes.
