“…[1][2][3][4] There are several methods for removing phenolic compounds from water, which include polymerization, 5,6 photocatalytic degradation, 7,8 ozonation, 9,10 electrocoagulation, 11 extraction, 12,13 advanced oxidation, [14][15][16] ion exchange, [17][18][19] distillation, 20 biological treatment, 21 enzymatic treatment, [22][23][24] Electro-Fenton method, 25,26 and adsorption. [27][28][29][30] Among them, adsorption is the most used due the simplicity of the process. The adsorption efficiency will depend on the properties of the adsorbent material, such as porosity, reaction composition, size and surface area, pore size distribution, concentration of adsorbate, in addition to competition to other residues for the surface area of the adsorbent.…”
