The hydrothermal synthesis of Si-MCM-48 mesoporous molecular sieves was carried out using a ternary SiO2:CTAOH:H2O system wherein differently manufactured amorphous silica powders such as fumed silica (FMDS), spray dried precipitated silica (SDPS) and flash dried precipitated silica (FDPS) were used as silica source materials. The changes in structural/textural properties were evaluated using powder XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Studies on the progressive development of MCM-48 mesophases revealed that, the reactivity of the silica source follow the trend: FMDS > SDPS > FDPS. MCM-48 synthesized using low cost FDPS has exhibited thicker pore walls but poorer orderness, while MCM-48 prepared from relatively expensive FMDS has thinner pore walls and more ordered structure. Moreover, the extent of contraction caused by calcinations, agglomerate size and structural stability were found to depend on the reactivity of the silica source used.
