Adsorption is widely popular for removal of heavy metals due to its low cost, efficiency, and
simplicity. The focus of this review will be the use of inorganic adsorbents engineered at the …

The ever-increasing human demand for safe and clean water is gradually pushing
conventional water treatment technologies to their limits. It is now a popular perception that …

A review with ca. 400 references is provided dealing with the use of mesoporous silica and
organically-modified silica-based materials for removal of inorganic and organic pollutants …

In this study, a new Pb (II) ion-imprinted polymer (Pb (II)-IIP), which can be used for selective
adsorption of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions, was successfully prepared based on the …

Ordered mesoporous silica with hexagonal and cubic structure, type MCM-41 and MCM-48
respectively, were synthesized under basic media using pure silica, cetyltrimethylammonium …

A systematic study of the interaction between adsorbents and potentially toxic metal ions in
multicomponent systems is of great significance due to the coexistence of multiple …

In this study, a strategy has been provided for the preparation of silica nano hollow spheres
and its functionalization with the thiol group. Scanning electron microscopy, energy …

Glyphosate (PMG) has been the most widely used herbicide in the world, and its
environmental mobility and fate are mainly controlled by interactions with mineral surfaces …

In this work, the manganese oxide-modified vermiculite (Mn-MV) was prepared from raw
vermiculite (RV) and characterized chemically and morphologically. The adsorption surface …

A novel type of adsorbent for the selective recognition and adsorption of trace Pb 2+ from
aqueous solutions has been successfully constructed simply by grafting molecularly …
