“…The species tested in this study were bisphenol-A, 2-naphthol, and doxepin, which are hazardous materials or PPCPs (pharmaceutical and personal care products) ubiquitous in the environment. As indicated in literature [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], these three pollutant species could be adsorbed and removed from water by various sorbents via charge, acid-basic, -, or hydrophobic interactions. The sorbents adopted and reported in recent years include specific polymeric adsorbents and membranes [19,22], modified clay materials [3,[23][24][25][26], surfactant-modified ion-exchange membranes [20,21], molecularly imprinted silica [27], polyaniline-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanomaterials [4], etc.…”
