Gel, Silica

CAS No.: 63231-67-4

  • Molecular Formula: -
  • Molecular Weight: - g/mol

Chemical type

  • Inorganic hygroscopic material (amorphous silica)
[1]
  • Mesoporous support material (amorphous silica)
[2]

Key properties

  • High hygroscopicity
  • Si-O-Si stretches at 1100 cm⁻¹ in FTIR
  • Commonly used for moisture adsorption
  • Equilibrium adsorption capacity 1.1-1.4 times higher in composites under 80-90% RH
[1]
  • Pore size 60 Å, 70–230 mesh, typical surface area 480–540 m²/g; mechanically robust, low cost, commercially available, high oxidative stability; low heat capacity; enables high amine dispersion and scalability; retains amorphous structure (broad XRD hump ~22–23° 2θ) after infiltration and multiple adsorption-desorption cycles; no particle fusion or collapse observed by SEM
[2]
  • Hygroscopic component in calcium alginate microspheres
  • Enhances moisture adsorption in HPCC (e.g., optimal with SA at 5:1 mass ratio)
  • Applied in building materials for passive humidity control
[1]
  • Support matrix for PEI infiltration (wet method with methanol, 8:1 methanol:silica ratio, dried at 80 °C); forms PEI-infused adsorbent bed (~41 g in 200×60×20 mm aluminum chamber) for fixed-bed CO₂ breakthrough experiments; provides structure for photothermal/thermal regeneration at ~110 °C
[2]

Classification by use

  • Hygroscopic materials
  • Adsorbents in composites
  • Inorganic fillers for environmental regulation
[1]
  • Support materials for adsorbents
  • Materials used in carbon capture and storage (CCUS) solid sorbents
[2]
