Wj. Li et al., Preparation of mesoporous silica MCM-41 from waterglass with a convenient way in an open-vessel, CHEM J CH U, 22(6), 2001, pp. 1013-1015
A convenient and economic method for preparing highly ordered MCM-41 was st
udied in an open-vessel by using waterglass as the silicon source, XRD, nit
rogen adsorption and TEM show that the product has a highly ordered structu
re and the hexagonal arrangements of uniformly size pores distribution.
