Adsorption becomes one of the most promising separation methods for contaminants removal because it is easy to apply and offers efficient and environmental-friendly process. Adsorption by powder adsorbent has the advantages of high capacity and fast kinetics to remove contaminants in wastewater due to the large surface area. However, powder adsorbent has the weakness of difficulty to separate the small particle size of adsorbent in batch mode of adsorbent-solution system. Therefore, to solve this disadvantages, there is one way to facilitate the separation of adsorbents by supporting the particles of adsorbent at a polyurethane foam (PUF). The PUF with filled adsorbents allows the adsorbent to interact freely with pollutants and be easily separated from polluted water. Studies show that the integration of adsorbents in the PUF has the potential to absorb various contaminants and it can be separated easily from contaminated water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
