Mesoporous materials 3N-SBA-15 was funetionalized by a post-synthesis method, which was also characterized by 1R, XRD and TEM. Adsorption of Pb (If) on 3N-SBA-15 was investigated by batch studies. The novel adsorbent exhibited high adsorption affinity for aqueous Pb (II), resulting from complexation of Pb (II) by surface cationic group. The effects of initial contact time and pH were investigated to optimize the adsorption conditions. The saturated adsorption capacity was calculated to be 0.655 mol·g^-1 at pH 4.5 at room temperature. The...
