“…On the other hand, removal of surfactant through adsorption is a simple and versatile technique that does not require high skills for its operation and maintenance. Adsorbents like alumina (Adak, Bandyopadhyay, et al, ), waste activated carbon (Gupta, Pal, Ghosh, & Bandyopadhyay, ), waste tire rubber granules (Purakayastha, Pal, & Bandyopadhyay, ), activated carbon (Bindes & Franco, ), silica gel waste (Koner, Pal, & Adak, ), rice husk (Hosseinnia, Hashtroudi, Pazouki, & Banifatemi, ), coconut shell (Bhandari & Gogate, ), pine cone biomass (Sen et al, ) have been employed for removal of surfactants through adsorption in the past. A brief overview of the previous studies conducted for the removal of SDS through adsorption using different adsorbents and their respective adsorption capacities have been enlisted in Table .…”
