- Diamine-3 functionalized silica gel

Metal Scavenging
This functionalized silica gel is highly effective at removing metal ions such as Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni(II)), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), and Mercury (Hg) from solutions. Its diamine groups provide strong chelation sites for these metals, facilitating their removal through simple filtration or adsorption techniques.
Catalysis Support
The silica gel matrix provides a robust and high-surface-area support for catalytic species. While primarily known as a scavenger, the functional groups can also be involved in or modified for heterogeneous catalysis applications, offering ease of separation and recycling of catalysts.
Purification in Chemical Synthesis
In organic synthesis, residual metal catalysts are often problematic. This material acts as an excellent scavenger to remove trace metal contaminants, ensuring higher purity of the final product. It is particularly useful in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis where metal residues are strictly controlled.
