Preparation of oxygen-deficient 2D WO3−x nanoplates and their adsorption behaviors for organic pollutants: equilibrium and kinetics modeling

Synthesis, characterization and sorption studies of a zirconium(iv) impregnated highly functionalized mesoporous activated carbons

“…The initial and nal concentration of the dye solution was determined by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer (LabTech Model 9100A) at the maximum wavelength (l max ¼ 595 nm) of the dye and their concentrations were calculated with the help of the standard curve. The removal percentage was calculated by simple mathematical calculation and maximum adsorbent capacity was calculated using eqn (1).…”

“…Activated carbon (AC) is a processed form of carbon-based materials consisting of microscale pores with high surface area, broad surface reactivity, diverse pore size distribution and chemical as well as thermal stability. 1 The activated carbons have been amply used in various separation techniques of solid-liquid interface pollutants, gaseous pollutants, pharmaceutical waste, catalytic materials, and elimination of industrials pollutants (inorganic or organic). 2 However, for adsorption purposes, it has been extensively used for years in different forms such as granular, powdered, tubes, composites, etc.…”

“…obstructs the direct application of AC. 1 Typical surface characteristics of AC assists in the modication process that makes them more feasible for any targeted pollutants. So nowadays, researchers have been focussing more on the preparation of highly compatible materials that are more specic to the pollutant.…”

Superior arsenate adsorption and comprehensive investigation of adsorption mechanism on novel Mn-doped La2O2CO3 composites

“…It has been reported that lattice defects could enhance the adsorption capabilities of metal (hydro)oxides towards various pollutants (i.e. CO, organic dyes and phosphate), probably by providing extra active adsorption sites [32][33][34]. Considering this, 5.26%-MnL was hypothesized to show better adsorption efficiencies towards arsenate than pristine La 2 O 2 CO 3 .…”

Bionic smart recycled paper endowed with amphiphobic, photochromic, and UV rewritable properties

“…[16][17][18][19][20] So far, articially prepared TT and other smart semiconductors have been reported to show a variety of morphologies such as nanowires, nanotubes, nanoakes, nanospheres, nanosheets, coral-like nanostructures, etc. 16,[21][22][23][24][25] Their main preparation methods include the hydrothermal method, 14,21 solvothermal method, 26,27 template-assisted method, 24 etc. However, these methods have the disadvantages of long cycles, complicated processes, high temperatures, and high pressures, which make the preparation cost extremely high.…”
