“…STI (100 mg) was dispersed into 10 mL of deionized water. The pH was adjusted using HCl or NaOH, and the sample suspensions were thoroughly mixed using a magnetic stirring device at different temperatures for 2 h. Temperature (25,35,45,55,65,75,85, 95 • C) and pH (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) were considered. The suspension was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min to separate the insoluble residues.…”
