Molecular sieves MCM-41 were synthesized from rice husk ash (RHA) as alternative sources of silica. The material was synthesized by a room temperature method from a gel with the molar composition SiO2: 1.6EA: 0.215HDTMABr: 325H2O with pH correction. The cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) was used as a structure template. Nanocomposite containing 5.0 and 10.0 wt.% of Cu was synthesized unde...
