The mesoporous silica gels impregnated with different metal salts were prepared and studied. The pore structure and specific surface area of adsorbents were evaluated using nitrogen adsorption. Then, the sorption isotherms and dynamics of water vapor were carried out at 303 K and different relative humidity (RH). The temperature programmed desorption experiments were conducted to estimate the activation energy (E (d)) of water desorption on the silica gels. The results showed that the sorption capacity for water decreased with the increase of the ionic radius (except the calcium ion) and that CaCl(2) and LiCl were particularly suitable for use in modification of the mesoporous silica gel to improve their sorption rates and capacities for water vapor at the lower and medium RH (RH < 80%). The larger the average pore diameter and pore volume of the initial silica gels, higher the accrual rates of the water vapor sorption rate and capacity were after modification with hygroscopic salts. The activation energy of the water desorption on the mesoporous silica gel modified by CaCl(2) were much higher than that on the silica gel modified by LiCl, because the polarizability of the Ca(2+) was higher than that of Li(+).
