“…Fortunately, many methods has been proposed for the removal of CTAB from wastewater such as electrochemical oxidation, membrane separation, biological treatment, ion exchange, photocatalytic degradation, coagulation, electro-adsorption, and foam separation. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] However, these methods encountered many difficulties in the application of industrialization due to their drawbacks such as time-consuming, complicated operating process, high energy requirement, and operating cost. As a whole, adsorption is the most common used method due to its easy operation, low cost, low energy requirement, and so on.…”
