“…[3][4][5] Among the various treatments, adsorption based on several types of porous materials, such as activated carbon (AC), activated alumina, ion exchange media, and iron-based media, has been regarded as a promising green technology due to its simple operation, remarkable economic applicability, low-energy demand, and environmental friendliness. [6][7][8] Actually, the types of adsorbent are vital for the adsorption performances towards specic contaminants. Generally, AC is considered to be a good adsorbent owing to the developed porosity, large surface area and high adsorption capacity.…”
