“…In recent decades, various methods including ion-exchange [ 7 ], membrane separation [ 8 ], chemical oxidation [ 9 ], photodegradation [ 10 , 11 ], adsorption [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ] and other technologies [ 16 , 17 , 18 ] have been employed to treat TC pollution in water. Among above methods, the adsorption is widely used in the field of TC wastewater treatment due to its advantages such as simple operation, low price, random reaction conditions, no significant changes in active sites and spatial structure after adsorption, and reusability of absorbents [ 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
