“…The appearance of this dangerous herbicide causes different negative effects on the environment [ 3 , 4 ] and heath [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Physical [ 12 , 13 ], biological [ 14 , 15 ], and chemical treatments [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ] have all been reported in the literature for PQ removal. An adsorption process has recently been investigated for PQ removal, which was applied for both organic and inorganic materials such as bio-based material [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], bentonite [ 26 , 27 ], microorganisms [ 28 ], activated carbon [ 29 , 30 ], kaolin [ 31 ], pillararene [ 32 , 33 ], calixarene [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], graphene oxide [ 37 ], carbon nanotubes [ 38 , 39 ], silica [ 40 , 41 ], magnetic adsorbent [ 42 , 43 ], montmorillonite [ 44 , 45 ], cellulose nanofiber [ 46 , 47 ], and cyclodextrin [ 48 ].…”
