8. 2, TMA/Si molar ratio 0.5, SACHEM Inc.), and 28 g of mesitylene (Eastman Kodak) were added to each 100 g of CTAC/OH solution. The mixture was sealed in a Teflon-lined vessel and heated at 105°C for 1 week. The product was recovered by suction filtration, dried at ambient temperature, and calcined at 540°C for 12 hours under flowing air.
9. For synthesis of 10% FMMS samples, 2.0 ml of TMMPS was mixed with 1.288 g of mesoporous silica in 100 ml of chloroform. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 days and then filtered. The collected solid was washed copiously with chloroform to rinse away any surplus mercaptan and then dried under vacuum. For synthesis of 25% FMMS samples, 4.32 g of mesoporous silica was suspended in 125 ml of reverse osmosis (RO) water and taken to reflux for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the sample was centrifuged down, the water was decanted off, and the silica was air-dried for 5 days. This hydrated mesoporous silica was then suspended in 250 ml of toluene, treated with 30 ml of TMMPS, and taken to reflux for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered. The solid was washed copiously with chloroform and dried under vacuum. For synthesis of 75% FMMS samples, 3.5 g of mesoporous silica was suspended in 100 ml of RO water and heated to reflux to 3 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered. The wet product was placed in a round-bottom flask along with 250 ml of benzene. The flask was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap and the mixture was heated to reflux. The wet product was heavily aggregated for about the first half of the azeotropic distillation, and then it dispersed nicely. The Dean-Stark distillation was continued until 4.5 ml of water had been removed. This left ∼2.0 ml of water dispersed across the silica surface, which is approximately equal to four monolayers of water. This suspension was then treated with 20 ml of TMMPS, stirred overnight at room temperature, and heated to reflux for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered and washed thoroughly with 2-propanol and dried under vacuum to yield 6.2 g of derivatized material.

21. III absorption edge on beamline X18B at the National Synchrotron Light Source. Measurements of tape mounts of mercury sulfide and mercury oxide standards were made in the transmission mode. Measurements on the FMMS samples were performed in the fluorescence mode, using the Stern-Heald configuration while simultaneously monitoring the absorption signal of the mercury sulfide reference on the downside of the experiment to allow investigation of the valence state of mercury in the sample. Data reduction and analysis were performed according to recommended procedures [E. A. Stem and S. M. Heald, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 50, 1579 (1979);

27. The tests with simulated waste were performed in batch mode. The waste solutions were mixed with FMMS powders at volume ratios of 20 to 100 at room temperature with agitation for 2 hours. The remaining metal concentrations in solutions were analyzed by cold vapor atomic absorption for mercury and by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) for other metals. For hydrolytic stability, mercury-loaded FMMS was added to deionized water in a Teflon vessel and heated at 70°C for 24 hours. The original mercury concentration in the FMMS was 505 mg per gram of FMMS. After the heating, only 0.4% mercury was released from the materials. This is within the uncertainty involved in experimental procedures in which the mercury-loaded FMMS was washed to remove physically attached mercury before the release test. The regeneration test was performed as follows: Mercury-loaded FMMS was mixed with a concentrated HCl (12.1 M) solution for 4 hours. The solid materials were then separated by filtration. Analysis of the Hg concentration in the filtrate indicated that the mercury was 100% removed. The regenerated FMMS was used to treat a mercury nitrate solution. A mercury loading of 210 mg per gram of FMMS was obtained, corresponding to ∼50% of the original loading capacity. The same results were obtained for a third regeneration and reuse cycle. Although the total loading capacity was reduced in regeneration, it still outperforms alternative materials. Some loading capacity was lost as a result of the oxidation of the thiol group and can be recovered by treating the regenerated materials with a reducing agent. Some loading capacity loss may also be attributable to the interactions of FMMS with strong acid, but the densely populated organic monolayers improved the stability of the silica-based materials, so that the FMMS was not dissolved even in concentrated acid and remained effective after the acid treatment.
