Amine-functionalized MCM-41 was synthesized by incorporation of tertiary amine functional group namely 3-2-(2-aminoethylamino) ethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEPTMS) into MCM-41 through co-condensation method. The resultant adsorbents were characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, and N2 adsorptiondesorption. Amine-functionalized MCM-41 showed higher Cu2+ adsorption capacity of 4.52 mg/L compared to 0.94 mg/L for MCM-41. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Hui Ying, N. and Yin Fong, Y.
