This investigation examines metal ion adsorption on mesoporous silicate, MCM-41, synthesized from sodium silicate solution and cethyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). MCM-41 has potential as an adsorbent material, with a regular hexagonal pore structure, large specific surface area, and large pore volume. The MCM-41 synthesized for this investigation is characterized using powder X-ray Received...
