Removal of lead(II) ions from aqueous solutions using cashew nut shell liquid-templated thiol-silica materials

A range of thiol-silica composites were prepared using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) or one of its phenolic constituents, cardanol, as templates. The procedure involved formation of a CNSL or cardanol emulsion in a water-ethanol system into which (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane and tetraethyl o...
