Objective: In this work, the loading of nicotine onto mesoporous silicate materials and its release into a phosphate buffer solution at 37°C were investigated.
Methods: The mesoporous silicate materials designated as MCM-41 were prepared with different pore sizes via using alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants with different alkyl chain lengths of carbon atoms 12, 14, and 16. The mesoporous silicate systems were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms, and FT-IR spectroscopy.
Results: Loading of nicotine was confirmed by FTIR and thermal gravimetric analysis and was determined by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
Conclusion: A slight increase in loading capacity with increasing pore size was observed, with a loading capacity of about 17% for MCM-41(16). The release of nicotine was monitored by HPLC and was almost complete for MCM-41(14) and MCM-41(16) in 8 h.

This work presents a novel hydrothermally aided sol-gel method for preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with a narrow particle size distribution and varied pore sizes. The method was carried out in alkaline media in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as dual templates and permitted the synthesis of spherical mesoporous silica with a high surface area (1011.42 m/g).

The treatment of effluents from the pharmaceutical industry currently remains a major challenge due to their impact on the environment and public health along with the cost of treatments. Considering these issues, our work focused on the development of materials with effective adsorption properties to treat industrial effluents based on locally available and inexpensive clays and zeolite. Local Algerian kaolin (Djebel Debbagh), palygorskite (Ghoufi) and zeolite (Tinbdar) were treated thermally and chemically prior to synthesis into mesoporous materials of hexagonal structure using pluronic P123 as surfactant.

Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, hexane, tetrachloroethylene, acetone, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, isopropanol, etc., increase dramatically with accelerated industrialization and economic growth. Most VOCs cause serious environmental pollution and threaten human health due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature.

This study introduces a novel, eco-friendly composite, uncalcined mesoporous silica nanoparticles incorporated into a starch cryogel (MSNs-Cry), designed for the effective removal of methyl orange (MO) from water. MSNs-Cry integrates uncalcined mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) within a starch cryogel network, leveraging the high adsorption capacity of MSNs. The composite achieved a maximum adsorption capacity of 18.
