Following the discovery of Stöber silica, the realm of morphology-controlled mesoporous
silica nanomaterials like MCM-41, SBA-15, and KCC-1 has been expanded. Due to their …

The application of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is ubiquitous in various
sciences. MSNs possess unique features, including the diversity in manufacturing by …

The development of engineered silica particles by using low-cost renewable or waste
resources is a key example of sustainability. Rice husks have emerged as a renewable …

A first study that demonstrates the capability of the amino-functionalized MCM-41 sorbents to
reduce Cr (VI) to the less toxic trivalent state is presented. To achieve this aim two …

In recent years, a number of scientific papers have been published on the use of residues
from industrial and agricultural operations to develop adsorbents for CO2 capture at low …

In this overview, we present examples of the use of high volume waste materials in catalysis
or for catalyst synthesis. Waste materials derived from both industrial and biological sources …

Investigation of the sorption potential of rice husk, an agricultural waste, as an adsorbent
was carried out. The rice husk was modified with orthophosphoric acid and was used for …

The aims of this work were to synthesize the porous solid adsorbents and to study their
carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacities. Three adsorbents; activated carbon …

Over the last decade, ecodesign has been introduced as a concept and a methodological
framework to identify and improve sustainability in product development. In this context, the …

The synthesis of nano-architectured mesoporous materials is of great importance for the
sciences of multifunctional materials, since the textural and structural features of …
