The calcined Si-MCM-41 was later functionalized with 10-50 wt. monoethanolamine (MEA) by impregnation method and dried in vacuum at 343 K. The MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples were characterized for their physicochemical properties with FTIR, XRD, TGA, HRTEM, FESEM, BET and elemental analysis. XRD results showed that the intensity of the characteristic peaks of Si-MCM-41 reduces with increasing loading of MEA indicating that the MEA molecules are loaded in the pores as well as on the surface of Si-MCM-41. The appearance of FTIR peaks corresponding to N-H, C-N and C-H bonds suggested that Si-MCM-41 has been functionalized with MEA. The presence of Si-O-Si peaks in FTIR spectra of MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples indicates that the hexagonal pore arrangement remains intact and this is supported by HRTEM images. FESEM images show that MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples became agglomerated with increase loading of MEA. TGA analyses show that the MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples are thermally stable up to 528 K. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms show that the textural properties of Si-MCM-41 material slowly change from a mesoporous material to non-porous material as the MEA loading increases due to pore filling effect during functionalization with MEA. Detection of N, C and H by elemental analysis confirms the presence of MEA in MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84894424249&partnerID=40&md5=0d6b102310b9b0a07c103f6f421b29fe full_text_status: none publication: Sains Malaysiana volume: 43 number: 2 pagerange: 253-259 refereed: TRUE issn: 01266039 citation: Ramli, A. and Ahmed, S. and Yusup, S.
