Removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions using silylated MCM-41 / Wan Saidatul Syida Wan Kamarudin

Heavy metal pollution has become one of the environmental problems which cause several diseases either to human, animal or plant. In this study, siliceous MCM-41 was modified by silylation using trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS). It was also investigated as an alternative low cost absorbent for the remov...
