“…[7] A variety of sorbent materials including activated carbon, [8] sepiolite, [9] clay, [10] mesoporous silica, [11] mesoporous hybrid xerogel, [12] pansil, [13] hybrid aerogels, [14] oriented films (for instance lithium hectorite films) [15] have been studied and used for removing water-soluble dyes, such as methylene blue, methyl violet, procion, rhodamine-B, red MX-5B, oxazine, and methyl violet. Among them, graphite, [16] chitosan-based gels, [17][18][19] carbon-based nanomaterials of fullerene, [20][21] and carbon nanotube [22][23][24][25][26][27] have proved to be an efficient sorbents for removing such types of organic and inorganic pollutants.…”
