Abstract: The methylated silica gel has been produced by the reaction between the surface silanol groups and Clsi(CH3)3 vapor.The adsorption isotherms of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloride onto silica gel and emthylated silica gel heated at various temperatures have been determined at 25℃,and the above mentioned silica gels have been studied by TCand IR.The results indicate:(1) The adsorption of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloried onto methylated silica gel decreased greatly,probably because the concentration of the free hydroxyl groups for methylated silica gel decreased greatly as the IRshows.(2) As the methylated surface was destroyed at 450℃,the adsorption ability was restored when the methylated silica gel treated at>500℃.(3) So long as the methylated silica gel was treated at high temperature,the adsorption ability could be restored owing to that surface free hydroxyl groups were reproduced.
