NONTRADITIONAL METHOD OF CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF THE SURFACE OF POROUS SILICA

Abstract

The main results obtained in the study of the possibility of low-temperature chemical modification of porous silica, applying various nanodispersed substances to their surface are given. It has been shown that the use of the chemical transport reaction (CTR) H₂O₂/ZnO for this purpose with the participation of H₂O₂ vapors at room temperature makes it possible to apply a number of oxides, sulfides and metal halides to the surface of various sorbents. An important advantage of the proposed modification method is that changes in the original texture parameters of the substrate are minimized. Using the example of modifying the behavior of highly pure SiO₂ with zinc oxide, it was shown that the decomposition of gaseous intermediate products of CTR H₂O₂/ZnO occurs mainly in pores with a diameter of more than 6 nm.
