  • Abstract:This work demonstrates the synthesis of hydrophilic and hydrophobic high surface area silica aerogel beads with a large pore volume. Wet gel silica beads were modified and heat-treated under atmospheric pressure after modification of the surface by trimethychlorosilane (TMCS). The effects of heat treatment on the physical (hydrophobicity) and textural properties (specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size) of silica aerogel beads were investigated. The results indicated that hydrophobicity of the silica aerogel beads can be maintained up to 400 °C. The hydrophobicity of the silica aerogel beads decreased with increasing temperature in the range of 200-500 °C, and the beads became completely hydrophilic after heat treatment at 500 °C. The specific surface area, cumulative pore volume, and pore size of the silica aerogel beads increased with increasing temperature. Heating the TMCS modified bead gel at 400 °C for 1 h resulted in silica aerogel beads with high surface area (769 m2/g), and large cumulative pore volume (3.10 cm3/g). The effects of heat treatment on the physical and textural properties of silica aerogel beads were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric and differential analysis (TG-DTA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and BJH nitrogen gas adsorption and desorption methods.
