Effect of Reaction Time and Hydrothermal Treatment Time on the Textural Properties of SBA-15 Synthesized Using Sodium Silicate as a Silica Source and Its Efficiency for Reducing Tobacco Smoke Toxicity

The synthesis of SBA-15 has been optimized using sodium silicate, an inexpensive precursor SBA-15. In this work, the influence times precipitation and hydrothermal treatment steps, on textural properties developed as well for reducing toxic compounds generated in tobacco smoking, studied. proved to be necessary obtain materials with adequate performance particular application. Twenty-four hours provide best properties. Although reaction stage usually involves mixing reagents during 24 h, 40 min is enough a material stick-like morphology typical Moreover, between 1 2 h time, have purpose toxicity products smoking process. These results are great significance eventual scaling up industrial scale manufacturing Results pilot plant experiment batch 4 kg reported.
