“…[67] Advances in the design and development of highly efficient adsorbentsh ave intensified in the recent years. Different literature reports and critical reviewsa ddress the applicationo fd ifferenta dsorbents for water contaminantc apturei ncluding activatedc arbon, [68] carbon nanomaterials (graphene, fullerenes, nanotubes), [69] zeolites, [70] inorganic materials (e.g.,M oS 2 , [71] CeO 2 ), [72] metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [73][74][75] molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), [76,77] porous organic polymers (POPs), [78][79][80] andh ybrid membranes. [81] Activated carbon is one of the most reported commercially availablem aterials for removing pollutantsf rom water, [68,69] since it is inexpensive and features large surfacearea.…”
