Preparation and performance of amino-functionalized SBA-15 for adsorption of ions in hydrogen peroxide solution

Abstract Amino-functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 was prepared with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) via post-synthesis grafting method and used as absorbents for removal of metal ions, anions and organic impurities from a hydrogen peroxide solution to produce ultra-pure hydrogen peroxide. The results showed that the N content in amino-functionalized SBA-15 increases with increasing the addition amount of APTES, with a maximum of 1.83%. Two-dimensional hexagonal ordered structure of SBA-15 is well preserved after grafting with APTES. However, the specific surface area and pore volume of SBA-15 decrease slightly with increasing the grafting amount. The surface of SBA-15 in the hydrogen peroxide solution has positive charge. The functionalization of SBA-15 by grafting of amino groups induces an extremely significant improvement in the adsorption capacity for Al³⁺ and Fe³⁺ with purification rate of 82.22% and 78.78%, and the moderate improvement for Ca²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, PO₄^3- and organic impurities in the hydrogen peroxide solution. Kinetic studies and adsorption isotherm data indicated that adsorption of metal ions and PO₄^3- was chemical adsorption. It has been speculated that metal ions are removed from the hydrogen peroxide solution by complexation with the surface of SBA-15, and PO₄^3- and organic impurities by electrostatic and physical adsorption, respectively.
