“…87 From the literature review, it can be concluded that a larger quantities of studies are devoted to cationic pollutant removal relative to that of anionic ones. Typically, cationic organic dye MB is regarded as one of the most frequently investigated adsorbates among other cationic dyes, including Rhodamine B (RhB), 81 malachite green (MG), 98 methylene green, 63 and methyl violet, 122 as shown in Tables 1 and 2. For inorganic adsorbates, cationic metal ions such as Cu 2+ , 47,59,123 Pb 2+ , 59,92 Hg 2+ , 124 Mn 2+ , 125 Cd 2+ , 93 Co 2+ , 59,74 Ni 2+ , 59,74 Zn 2+ , 59 and a series of rare-earth ions 126 are also widely employed and handled with various graphene-based adsorbents.…”
