Synthesis of silica-based porous material through coal combustion

Key Points

• The synthesis of silica-based porous material enhances adsorption capacity significantly, as observed in the experiments.
• Results show that the produced material exhibits superior mechanical properties, with a compressive strength of up to 15 MPa.
• Analysis of microstructure indicates fine pore distribution, contributing to effective material performance under various conditions.
• Findings suggest that this coal combustion-derived material may have valuable applications in energy and environmental sectors.
