ABSTRACT
Siliceous mesoporous molecular sieve (Si-MCM-41)
material with highly ordered hexagonal pore arrangement was synthesized at 373
K for 8-days duration by hydrothermal method, dried at 393 K and calcined at
823 K in N2 atmosphere.
The calcined Si-MCM-41 was later functionalized with
10-50 wt. % monoethanolamine (MEA) by impregnation method and
dried in vacuum at 343 K. The MEA-Si-MCM-41
samples were characterized for their physicochemical properties with FTIR, XRD, TGA, HRTEM, FESEM, BET and elemental analysis. XRD results showed that the
intensity of the characteristic peaks of Si-MCM-41
reduces with increasing loading of MEA indicating that the MEA molecules
are loaded in the pores as well as on the surface of Si-MCM-41.
The appearance of FTIR peaks corresponding to N-H, C-N
and C-H bonds suggested that Si-MCM-41 has been functionalized
with MEA. The presence of Si-O-Si peaks in FTIR spectra
of MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples indicates that
the hexagonal pore arrangement remains intact and this is supported by HRTEM images. FESEM images show that MEA-Si-MCM-41
samples became agglomerated with increase loading of MEA. TGA analyses
show that the MEA-Si-MCM-41 samples are thermally
stable up to 528 K. N2 adsorption-desorption
isotherms show that the textural properties of Si-MCM-41
material slowly change from a mesoporous material to non-porous material as the MEA loading increases due to pore filling effect during
functionalization with MEA. Detection of N, C and H by
elemental analysis confirms the presence of MEA in MEA-Si-MCM-41
samples.

ABSTRAK
Bahan penapis molekul berliang meso berasaskan silika (Si-MCM-41)
dengan struktur liang secara heksagon yang sangat tersusun telah disintesis
pada suhu 373 K selama 8 hari menggunakan kaedah hidroterma, dikeringkan pada
393 K dan dikalsinkan pada 823 K dalam aliran N2.
Si-MCM-41 yang telah dikalsinkan kemudiannya difungsikan
dengan memuatkan 10-50 wt. % monoethanolamine (MEA)
ke dalam liangnya menggunakan kaedah pengisitepuan dan dikeringkan menggunakan
vakum pada suhu 343 K. Sifat fiziko kimia sampel MEA-Si-MCM-41
telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan FTIR, XRD, TGA, TEM, FESEM, BET dan analisis unsur. Keputusan XRD menunjukkan
bahawa keamatan puncak Si-MCM-41 berkurangan dengan peningkatan
muatan MEA menunjukkan bahawa molekul MEA telah
dimuatkan ke dalam liang serta pada permukaan Si-MCM-41.
Kehadiran puncak FTIR yang sepadan dengan ikatan N-H,
C-N dan C-H mencadangkan bahawa Si-MCM-41 telah difungsikan oleh MEA.
Kehadiran puncak Si-O-Si pada spektra FTIR bagi sampel MEA-Si-MCM-41
menunjukkan bahawa struktur liang secara heksagon masih utuh dan ini disokong
oleh mikrograf HRTEM. Mikrograf FESEM menunjukkan
bahawa sampel MEA-Si-MCM-41 menjadi bergumpal dengan
peningkatan muatan MEA. Analisis TGA menunjukkan
bahawa sampel MEA-Si-MCM-41 mempunyai kestabilan
terma sehingga suhu 528 K. Isoterma penjerapan-penyahjerapan menunjukkan bahawa
sifat tekstur bahan Si-MCM-41 berubah secara perlahan
daripada bahan berliang meso kepada bahan tidak berliang setelah muatan MEA meningkat
disebabkan kesan pengisian liang semasa pemfungsian dengan MEA.
Pengesanan N, C dan H melalui analisis unsur mengesahkan kehadiran MEA di
dalam sampel MEA-Si-MCM-41.
Kata kunci: MEA;
pemfungsian; sifat fiziko kimia; Si-MCM-41
