“…Consider HM-20-1.5 as an example: when the initial concentrations of MB solutions were 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 μmol/L, the adsorption capacities were about 39.85 82.99, 111.08, 122.97, and 128.27 mg/g, respectively. The increased adsorption capacity was attributed to the high concentration of the MB solution promoting the diffusion of MB molecules into the monolith. − Furthermore, the Langmuir and Freundlich models were used to study the interaction between the adsorbent and adsorbate, as shown in Figure S1(b,c) and Tables S7 and S8, and the Langmuir model best described the adsorption process among the two models ( R 2 = 0.965–0.997), indicating that the adsorption data agreed well with the Langmuir model, and the adsorption process of MB was single-molecule adsorption. The calculated maximum adsorption capacities were 10.24, 95.95, 125.50, and 144.63 mg/g for M-20, HM-20-0.5, HM-20-1, and HM-20-1.5, respectively, and these results were very close to the experimental values.…”
