The material prepared for the equilibrium adsorption technique was found to be a highly efficient, ecofriendly, and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones in excellent yields, under mild reaction condition using 35% w/v aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant
