A comparative investigation on adsorption performances of mesoporous activated carbon prepared from waste rubber tire and activated carbon for a hazardous azo dye—Acid Blue 113

In situ hydrothermal synthesis of a novel hierarchically porous TS-1/modified-diatomite composite for methylene blue (MB) removal by the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis

“…Most dyes are toxic, and some are even carcinogenic and mutagenic to humans and animals [1][2][3]. For the remediation of waste water containing dyes, physical, chemical and biological methods have been extensively used, including adsorption, filtration and membrane separation [4][5][6], electrochemical destruction [7] and advanced oxidation technology [8].…”

One-pot synthesis of C18-functionalized core–shell magnetic mesoporous silica composite as efficient sorbent for organic dye

“…materials, as a kind of distinctive porous materials with huge surface area, uniform pore size distribution, and unique pore structure, have gained considerable interest in the removal of diverse dyes from water solutions [4]. Plenty of mesoporous materials, such as silica [5,6], carbon [7,8], TiO 2 [9,10], MgO [11,12], Cu 2 O [13,14] and metal-organic framework (MOF) [15,16], have all been used as efficient sorbents for environmental remediation. Among them, mesoporous silica is the most widely-used one owing to the simple preparation, perfect chemical stability and biocompatibility [17,18].…”

Preparation of C₆₀ Nanowhiskers/WO₃ Nanocomposites and Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes

“…[1][2][3][4] There is a need for an effective method to remove pollutants. [5][6][7][8][9] Photocatalysis has been widely used as a novel treatment for destroying organic pollutants. Some researchers have demonstrated the advantages of using modified carbonbased semiconductors as photocatalysts, including their strong absorption of visible light and high photocatalytic activity.…”
