Abstract  

The silica nanospheres were prepared by hydrolysis-condensation reaction of TEOS in isopropanol aqueous solution. Then the silica nanospheres were etched by sodium hydroxide under the protection of polyvinylpyrrolidone. The morphology and specific surface area of the synthetic silica nanospheres were tested by TEM and BET Nitrogen adsorption method, respectively. The model wastewater containing lead ion was used to investigate the adsorption properties and influencing factors of the prepared samples. The results show that the prepared silica have monodipersed porous spherical morphology with the specific surface area of larger than 600 m2/g, which can remove heavy metals in the wastewater efficiently.
