“…Adsorption is considered to be an attractive alternative since it stands out through operation simplicity, avoidance of supplementary chemicals, and nonexistence of undesirable products [ 36 ]. Numerous adsorbents such as activated carbon [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], silicates [ 40 ], porous geopolymers [ 41 ], materials prepared from agricultural wastes [ 42 , 43 ] or obtained from biomass residue [ 44 ], materials containing nanoparticles of various oxides [ 45 , 46 , 47 ], composites [ 48 , 49 ], etc., are reported as favorable adsorbents. They possess important surface area, high pore sizes, and structures permitting high affinity with various compounds; therefore, they are listed as efficiently retaining colored contaminants from aqueous media.…”
