Supported on mesoporous silica nanospheres, molecularly imprinted polymer for selective adsorption of dichlorophen

Abstract The imprinted polymers were prepared to absorb dichlorophen (DCP) by using mesoporous silica with ordered pores and high specific surface area. Both scanning electron microscopy transmission results suggested that the nanosphere had a periodic distribution. layer of was thin uniform. adsorption experiments showed obviously improved due presence structure. maximum capacity MSNs@MIPs at 318 K 91.1 mg/g, process rapidly reached equilibrium within 40 min. isotherm well fitted Freundlich model, indicating multimolecular mechanism governs DCP polymers. complied pseudo-second-order kinetic model. selective regenerative demonstrated can be successfully applied for DCP.
