The direct determination of metals present at trace levels in natural water samples is generally difficult due to the presence of interfering species. Metals that were studied, Cu(II), Pb(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) are of environmental interest because of its intensive use, distribution, and as a consequence of its non-degradability can be accumulated in environmental matrices manifesting toxicity. In this project was developed a mesoporous silica as solid support for the anchoring of 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole molecule to be applied in the adsorption/removal of metals from aqueous solution. The material was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which showed bands at 1649 and 1690- 790 cm-1, characteristic of NH bonds of primary amines, existing in molecule ligand. The nuclear magnetic resonance 13C and 29Si (NMR) confirm the anchoring of the ligand. Measurements of specific surface area by the BET method and pore diameter resulted in an area of 795.51 ± 1.14 m2 g-1 and pores in a range from 1.1 to 7.1 nm. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that the material has spherical shape with sizes of approximately 10 μm and the analysis by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) showed a homogeneous distribution of silylant over material surface. Thus, it was confirmed the occurrence of the modification reaction. The material was applied in adsorption studies to determine its maximum adsorption capacity, as well as studies of the influence of pH and kinetic studies on the balance process. The experiments were performed by the batch method. The first test was the pHPZC which indicates the best pH range (5-9) for the adsorption. Adsorption studies showed the best results when pH was near 6 and the adsorption equilibrium was attained after 50 minutes of stirring time. For all species investigated the adsorption process is better described by the pseudo- second order kinetic model. With these parameters established the maximum adsorption capacity values found were 0.129, 0.102, 0.105, 0.113 and 0.076 mmol g-1 for Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Co(II) and Cd(II), respectively. Modified silica was also applied in the preconcentration of Cu(II) from aqueous samples with 20 fold enrichment factor and the packed column proved to be stable over 24 cycles of adsorption/desorption.
