Abstract:
The present invention relates to an adsorbent including a hierarchically porous silica monolith, and particularly, to an adsorbent for adsorbing or separating carbon dioxide in air or heavy metals in an aqueous solution, in which an amino group is covalently bonded to the silica monolith. Further, the present invention relates to a method for preparing the adsorbent including a hierarchically porous silica monolith, and particularly, to a method for preparing an adsorbent for adsorbing or separating carbon dioxide in air or heavy metals in an aqueous solution, in which an amino group is covalently bonded to the silica monolith.
