“…The strength of the acid solution used for desorption has varied from 0.1 M HCl to 2.0 M HCl (e.g., 0.1 M HCl Kostenko et al, 2019; Y.-R. Lee et al, 2018;Ryu et al, 2021), 0.25 M HCl (Hua et al, 2019), 0.3 M HCl (Lou et al, 2019), 0.5 M HCl , 1.0 M HCl (Babu et al, 2018;Gasser et al, 2017;Moussa et al, 2017), 2 M HCl (Li et al, 2019;Qin et al, 2022;Yusoff et al, 2017), and 1.0-2.0 M HCl (Ogata et al, 2015a)). Other mineral acids such as HNO 3 with the strength of 0.01-6.55 M (Ashour et al, 2017;Shuangyou Bao et al, 2022;Bertelsen et al, 2019;Callura et al, 2018;Noack et al, 2014;Rahman et al, 2020;Ravi, Zhang, et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2021) and H 2 SO 4 (e.g., 0.1 M -1 M H 2 SO 4 (Ogata et al, 2015a) , 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 (Gaete et al, 2021)) have been used as well. Mineral acids have usually provided desorption in the order of 90-100% for functionalized adsorbent and ion-imprinted polymers.…”
