Abstract

The research work developed in the Ph.D. is related to the development of porous solids for environmental applications. In particular, different types of low-cost natural resources and agricultural wastes were used as raw materials for the synthesis of improved adsorbent materials. From one side, a natural kaolinite clay was exploited as a starting material to obtain a nanosized siliceous material with an improved adsorption capacity toward cationic dyes from aqueous phase. On the other hand, two different zeolites X and a zeolite A, that were used for the adsorption of CO2 from the gas phase, were also derived from natural kaolinite samples. Moreover, different MCM-41 type silicas with tailored particle dimensions were prepared from biogenic silica derived from rice husk. Each MCM-41 sample has shown a high dye adsorption capacity from aqueous phase and a high affinity toward toluene and n-hexane molecules in gas phase
