Resumen:
Silica nanoparticles of 7 nm diameter were modified with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) andcharacterized by CP-MAS 13C and 29Si NMR, FTIR, zeta potential measurements, and thermogravimetry.The particles were shown to sorb successfully divalent lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution.Lead complexation with these silica nanoparticles was clearly confirmed by EXAFS (Extended X-rayAbsorption Fine Structure) with synchrotron light measurements. Predicted Pb?N and Pb?C distancesobtained from quantum-chemical calculations are in very good agreement with the EXAFS determinations.The calculations also support the higher APTES affinity for Pb2+ compared to Cd2+.
