Silica Aerogels/Xerogels Modified with Nitrogen-Containing Groups for Heavy Metal Adsorption

Heavy metals are common inorganic pollutants found in the environment that have to be removed from wastewaters and drinking waters. In this work, silica-derived aerogels and xerogels were modified via a co-precursor method to obtain functional adsorbents for metal cations. A total of six formulation...
