Abstract
Through the substitution reaction between 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and sodium lignosulfonate (LS), a novel phosphorus-containing sodium lignosulfonate (DAL) was successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method and used as a multifunctional flame retardant to prepare a novel silicone-acrylic emulsion (SAE) composite Si-P-C coating. The structure of DAL was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (solid-state 13C NMR and 31P NMR). The results demonstrated that incorporating an appropriate dosage of DAL (0.9 g, 1.5 wt %) into SAE-based composite coatings enhances flame retardancy and reduces heat release and smoke production during burning. The peak heat release rate (p-HRR) decreases from 236.7 to 120.3 kW·m-2, total smoke production (TSP) decreases by 71.1%, and the flame-retardant index increases from 1.00 to 4.58. Meanwhile, the coating is transformed into a dense and nonflammable vitreous polyphosphate barrier layer during the firing process to prevent heat or mass transfer. Furthermore, the pyrolysis kinetics identify that the 3D Z-L-T model governs the coatings' pyrolysis, and the appropriate DAL makes the pyrolysis Eα climb from 300.98 to 331.30 kJ·mol-1 at 358-439 °C. Hence, this study presents a new synthesis method of multifunctional flame retardant DAL, studies the excellent properties and cross-linking mechanism of DAL-doped SAE-composite Si-P-C coatings, and explores a halogen-free, low-carbon, and clean eco-technology strategy.

Premise setting for sustainable developing adsorption in environmental remediation using graphitic carbon nitride@agar-derived porous carbon composite. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131760. [PMID: 38663693 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
In the adsorption process for wastewater treatment, the adsorbent plays an important role. A composite adsorptive material composed of graphitic carbon nitride and agar-derived porous carbon (CNPC) was fabricated from simple precursors (melamine, thiourea, and agar) and through a facile procedure with different melamine and thiourea ratios. Characterization of CNPC proved a successful formation of a porous structure consisting of mesopores and macropores, wherein CNPC holds distinctive electrochemical (lowered resistance and higher specific capacity) and photochemical properties (lowered bandgap to 2.33 eV) thanks to the combination of graphitic carbon nitride (CN) and agar-derived porous carbon (PC). Inheriting the immanent nature, CNPC was subjected to the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution. The highest adsorption capacity was 133 mg/g for CNPC-4 which was prepared using a melamine to thiourea ratio of 4:4 - equivalent to the removal rate of 53.2 % and following the pseudo-I-order reaction rate. The effect of pH points out that pH 7 and 9 were susceptible to maximum removal and pretreatment is not required while the optimal ratio of 7.5 mg of MB and 30 mg of material was also determined to yield the highest performance. Furthermore, the reusability of the material for three consecutive cycles was evaluated based on two methods pyrolysis at 200 °C and photocatalytic degradation by irradiation under visible light. In general, the photocatalytic regeneration pathway is more ample and efficient than pyrolysis in terms of energy efficiency (saving energy over 10 times) and adsorption capacity stability. As a whole, the construction of accessible regenerative and stable adsorbent could be a venturing step into the sustainable development spearhead for industries.

Two-stage hydrothermal oxygenation for efficient removal of Cr(VI) by starch-based polyporous carbon: Wastewater application and removal mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130812. [PMID: 38484806 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Cr(VI) is of concern because of its high mobility and toxicity. In this work, a two-stage hydrothermal strategy was used to activate the O sites of starch, and by inserting K-ion into the pores, starch-based polyporous carbon (S-PC) adsorption sites was synthesized for removal of Cr(VI). Physicochemical characterization revealed that the O content of the S-PC reached 20.66 % after activation, indicating that S-PC has excellent potential for adsorption of Cr(VI). The S-PC removal rate for 100 mg/L Cr(VI) was 96.29 %, and the adsorption capacity was 883.86 mg/g. Moreover, S-PC showed excellent resistance to interference, and an equal concentration of hetero-ions reduced the activity by less than 5 %. After 8 cycles of factory wastewater treatment, the S-PC maintained 81.15 % of its original activity, which indicated the possibility of practical application. Characterization and model analyses showed that the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater by the S-PC was due to CC, δ-OH, ν-OH, and C-O-C groups, and the synergistic effect of adsorption and reduction was the key to the performance. This study provides a good solution for treatment of Cr(VI) plant wastewater and provides a technical reference for the use of biological macromolecules such as starch in the treatment of heavy metals.

Abstract
To investigate the adsorption effects of aged microplastics (MPs) on Pb(II) and their co-transport properties in homogeneous (quartz sand) and heterogeneous (quartz sand with apple branches biochar) porous media, we explored the co-transport of UV-irradiated aged MPs and coexisting Pb(II) along with their interaction mechanisms. The UV aging process increased the binding sites and electronegativity of the aged MPs' surface, enhancing its adsorption capacity for Pb(II). Aged MPs significantly improved Pb(II) transport through homogeneous media, while Pb(II) hindered the transport of aged MPs by reducing electrostatic repulsion between these particles and the quartz sand. When biochar, with its loose and porous structure, was used as a porous medium, it effectively inhibited the transport capacity of both contaminants. In addition, since the aged MPs cannot penetrate the column, a portion of Pb(II) adsorbed by the aged MPs will be co-deposited with the aged MPs, hindering Pb(II) transport to a greater extent. The transport experiments were simulated and interpreted using two-point kinetic modeling and the DLVO theory. The study results elucidate disparities in the capacity of MPs and aged MPs to transport Pb(II), underscoring the potential of biochar application as an effective strategy to impede the dispersion of composite environmental pollutants.

Abstract
In this paper, magnetic composite of lignin/Fe3O4 spheres were synthesized via a straightforward one-step in-situ solvothermal method showing good capacity for adsorbing heavy metal ions and dyes. The physicochemical properties of lignin/Fe3O4 spheres are analyzed using a range of techniques such as SEM, XRD, FTIR, VSM, TG, and BET. Lignin/Fe3O4 spheres exhibited high adsorption capacities of 100.00, 353.36 and 223.71 and 180.18 mg/g for Cu (II), Ni (II) and Cr (VI) metal ions and methylene blue (MB) with equilibrium attained within 60 min. After the recycling experiments, lignin/Fe3O4 spheres still possesses excellent superparamagnetic properties and displays high adsorption capacity. The lignin/Fe3O4 spheres are an efficient and continuous adsorbent to remove heavy metal ions of Cu (II), Ni (II), Cr (VI) and cationic dyes of methylene blue in wastewater, which proves the great potential in practical pollutants treatment applications for water systems.

Abstract
Cr(VI) is a carcinogenic heavy metal that forms an oxygen-containing anion, which is difficult to remove from water by adsorbents. Here, industrial alkali lignin was transformed into a Cr(VI) adsorbent (N-LC) by using a two-step hydrothermal strategy. The characterization results of the adsorbent showed that O and N were uniformly distributed on the surface of the adsorbent, resulting in a favorable morphology and structure. The Cr(VI) adsorption of N-LC was 13.50 times that of alkali lignin, and the maximum was 326.10 mg g-1, which confirmed the superiority of the two-step hydrothermal strategy. After 7 cycles, the adsorption of N-LC stabilized at approximately 62.18 %. In addition, in the presence of coexisting ions, N-LC showed a selective adsorption efficiency of 85.47 % for Cr(VI), which is sufficient to support its application to actual wastewaters. Model calculations and characterization showed that N and O groups were the main active factors in N-LC, and CO, -OH and pyridinic-N were the main active sites. This study provides a simple and efficient method for the treatment of heavy metals and the utilization of waste lignin, which is expected to be widely applied in the environmental, energy and chemical industries.

Abstract
The proven high carcinogenicity to humans and high destructive force to the environment determine the extreme urgency of eliminating hypertoxic Cr(VI) in water bodies. Herein, a route of room temperature synthesis and secondary grafting was proposed to fabricate graphene oxide-based nanoadsorbent co-functionalized with polydopamine and branched polyethyleneimine (GOPP) to remove Cr(VI). The flexible decoration of polydopamine and polyethyleneimine on GO flakes could gradually enhance the amount of N-containing functional groups and realize selective removal of Cr(VI) with the maximum experimental adsorption capacity of 564.7 mg/g, displaying a significantly high separation factor against alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, and other transition metal ions. Various combination mechanisms, such as electrostatic attraction, reduction, complexation, and hydrogen bonding, were demonstrated to be involved in the adsorption process of Cr(VI) by XPS, ESP, and DFT calculations. And the interaction energies of the five protonated configurations of primary amine, tertiary amine, secondary amine, imine, and secondary amine on the ring with HCrO4- were: -22.66, -12.08, -24.92, -24.26, -27.64 kcal/mol. In the actual industrial wastewater study, a Cr(VI) removal rate of 85.8% was realized. This work provided a viable idea for the elimination of Cr(VI) and was expected to be applied in the field of wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The application of most slow-release fertilizers is limited by complex preparation processes and short slow-release periods. In this study, carbon spheres (CSs) were prepared by a hydrothermal method using cellulose as the raw material. Using CSs as the fertilizer carrier, three new carbon-based slow-release nitrogen fertilizers were prepared using direct mixing (SRF-M), water-soluble immersion adsorption (SRFS), and co-pyrolysis (SRFP) methods, respectively. Examination of the CSs revealed regular and ordered surface morphology, enrichment of functional groups on the surfaces, and good thermal stability. Elemental analysis showed that SRF-M was rich in nitrogen (total nitrogen content of 19.66 %). Soil-leaching tests showed that the total cumulative nitrogen release of SRF-M and SRF-S was 55.78 % and 62.98 %, respectively, which greatly slowed down the release of nitrogen. Pot experiment results revealed that SRF-M significantly promoted the growth of pakchoi and improved crop quality. Thus, SRF-M was more effective in practical applications than the other two slow-release fertilizers. Mechanistic studies showed that CN, -COOR, pyridine-N and pyrrolic-N participated in nitrogen release. This study thus provides a simple, effective, and economical method for the preparation of slow-release fertilizers, providing new directions for further research and the develop of new slow-release fertilizers.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 239:124220. [PMID: 37001780 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Reactive blue 19 is one of the abundant carcinogens commonly used in industrial applications. This study transformed industrial lignin into a lignin-based polyporous carbon@polypyrrole (LPC@PPy) by a hydrothermal-activation-in situ polymerization strategy for removal of reactive blue 19. The hydrothermal reaction and polypyrrole polymerization provide abundant O and N groups, and the pore-making process promotes the even distribution of O and N groups in the 3D pore of LPC@PPy, which is favorable for the adsorption of reactive blue 19. The adsorption capacity of LPC@PPy for reactive blue 19 is 537.52 mg g-1, which is 2.04 times the performance of LPC (only hydrothermal and activation process, only have O groups) and 3.36 times that of LC (direct lignin activation, lack of O and N groups). After 8 cycles, LPC@PPy still maintained a high adsorption capacity of 92.14 % for reactive blue 19. In addition, this study found that N and O groups in the material played an important role in adsorption, mainly pyridinic-N, C-OH, -COOR, -C-O- and CC. This work provides a new strategy for the removal of reactive blue 19 and determines the groups that mainly interact with reactive blue 19, which provides a new reference for adsorption, catalysis and related fields.

Abstract
To address the global phosphorus crisis and solve the problem of eutrophication in water bodies, the recovery of phosphate from wastewater for use as a slow-release fertilizer and to improve the slow-release performance of fertilizers is considered an effective way. In this study, amine-modified lignin (AL) was prepared from industrial alkali lignin (L) for phosphate recovery from water bodies, and then the recovered phosphorus-rich aminated lignin (AL-P) was used as a slow-release N and P fertilizer. Batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption process was consistent with the Pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. In addition, ion competition and actual aqueous adsorption experiments showed that AL had good adsorption selectivity and removal capacity. The adsorption mechanism included electrostatic adsorption, ionic ligand exchange and cross-linked addition reaction. In the aqueous release experiments, the rate of nitrogen release was constant and the release of phosphorus followed a Fickian diffusion mechanism. Soil column leaching experiments showed that the release of N and P from AL-P in soil followed the Fickian diffusion mechanism. Therefore, AL recovery of aqueous phosphate for use as a binary slow-release fertilizer has great potential to improve the environment of water bodies, enhance nutrient utilization and address the global phosphorus crisis.

Abstract
The uptake of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ions from wastewater is of great significance for environmental remediation and resource utilization. In this study, a self-designed instrument equipped with an oxidized mesoporous carbon monolith (o-MCM) as an electro-adsorbent is developed. o-MCM with a super hydrophilic surface displayed a high specific surface area (up to 686.5 m2 g-1 ). With the assistance of an electric field (0.5 V), the removal capacity of Cr(VI) ions is as high as 126.6 mg g-1 , much higher than that without an electric field (49.5 mg g-1 ). During this process, no reduction reaction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) ions is observed. After adsorption, the reverse electrode with 10 V is used to efficiently desorb the ions on the carbon surface. Meanwhile, the in situ regeneration of carbon adsorbents can be obtained even after ten recycles. On this basis, the enrichment of Cr(VI) ions in a special solution is achieved with the assistance of an electric field. This work lays a foundation for the uptake of heavy metal ions from wastewater with the assistance of the electric field.

Abstract
Cr(VI) pollution has seriously affected the survival of biological organisms and humans, so reducing the harm of Cr(VI) pollution is a significant scientific goal. Natural starch exhibits a low adsorption capacity for Cr(VI); thus, physical or chemical modification is needed to improve the adsorption and regeneration performance of starch. In this study, a novel starch-based porous carbon (SPC) was prepared to remove Cr(VI) from water by using soluble starch as a raw material. The characterization results show that the SPC shows a ratio surface area of 1325.39 m2/g. Kinetics suggest that the adsorption of Cr(VI) on SPC is dominated by chemisorption. The isotherm data demonstrated that the adsorption of Cr(VI) by SPC adhered to the Freundlich model. SPC exhibits a multimolecular layer adsorption structure, and the highest amount of adsorbed Cr(VI) in SPC was 777.89 mg/g (25 °C). Ion competition experiments show that SPC exhibits significant selectivity for Cr(VI) adsorption. In addition, the adsorption cycle experiment shows that SPC maintains a 63 % removal rate after 7 cycles. In this study, starch was transformed into high-quality adsorbent materials by hydrothermal and activation strategies, offering a new innovation for the optimization of starch-based adsorbents.

Abstract
The lignin-based magnetic biochar (LMB) was fabricated with a facile one-step solvothermal method. The spherical Fe3O4 was successfully loaded on the lignin-based biochar. LMB could efficiently remove Cr(VI) and Congo red (CR) synergistically with the adsorption of biochar and the catalytic/reduction of Fe3O4. LMB showed a removal efficiency of 100 % for Cr(VI) (100 mg/L) at 30 min. The LMB could be a catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) to degrade CR. The LMB + PS system showed a removal efficiency of 94.3 % for CR at 60 min. Moreover, LMB could simultaneously remove 41.5 % of Cr(VI) and 91.5 % of CR in the mixed Cr(VI) and CR solution. The simulated wastewater studies showed that LMB exhibited superior high Cr(VI) (100 %) and CR (82 %) removal efficiencies with the coexistent of anions, cations, and organic matter. LMB can be effectively applied to remove Cr(VI) and CR and purify different contaminated water bodies.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gradually used since of their huge specific surface area and superior pore structure. However, there are problems such as easy aggregation and difficult separation in water treatment. In this study, we prepared composite microspheres (FMCS-1) by modifying MIL-125-NH2 with Fe3O4 and chitosan. The structural characterization and performance analysis of the materials showed that the introduction of chitosan effectively prevents the stacking of MOFs. The magnetic test manifested that Fe3O4 solved the problem of the difficult separation of MOFs from water. The removal potential of toxic Cr(VI) was tested by adsorption experiments. The isotherm model indicated that FMCS-1 is a single molecular layer adsorbent with a maximum adsorption capacity of 109.46 mg/g at pH = 2. The adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) by FMCS-1 was chemical adsorption. The acid resistance test demonstrated that FMCS-1 can exist stably in acid solutions. The recycling experiments proved that the adsorbent can be reused and the removal percentage still reaches 50 % after 5 cycles. This work expands the application of MOFs in water treatment and also provides an effective adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal.

Abstract
The preparation of adsorbents with eco-friendly and high-efficiency characteristics is an important approach for pollutant removal, and can relieve the pressure of water shortage and environmental pollution. In recent studies, much attention has been paid to the potential of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) from biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and agricultural waste for the preparation of adsorbents. Hereby, this paper summarizes the state of research on carbon adsorbents developed from various sources with HTC. The reaction mechanism of HTC, the different products, the modification of hydrochar to obtain activated carbon, and the treatment of heavy metal pollution and organic dyes from wastewater are reviewed. The maximum adsorption capacity of carbon from different biomass sources was also evaluated.

Abstract
In this work, a novel alkali lignin-based adsorption material, alkali lignin-based poly(tetraethylene pentamine-pyrogallol) (AL-PTAP), was prepared using a Mannich reaction and catechol-amine reaction for removal of Cr(vi). It was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA) dosage, pyrogallol (PL) dosage, contact time, pH, temperature and other factors on the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent were systematically investigated. These experimental data show that the adsorption behavior conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity is 769.2 mg g-1 at 303 K, which is much higher than that of alkali lignin (AL). AL-PTAP can achieve a removal rate of almost 100% for Cr(vi) solutions with a concentration of less than 90 mg L-1 at 1 min. Furthermore, the toxic Cr(vi) is partly reduced to nontoxic Cr(iii) during the adsorption process. Therefore, AL-PTAP is a fast and efficient alkali lignin-based adsorbent, which is expected to improve the utilization value of alkali lignin in Cr(vi) wastewater treatment.

Abstract
As the most abundant natural aromatic polymer, tens of million of tons of lignin produced in paper-making or biorefinery industry are used as fuel annually, which is a low-value utilization. Moreover, burning lignin results in large amounts of carbon dioxide and pollutants in the air. The potential of lignin is far from being fully exploited and the search for high value-added application of lignin is highly pursued. Because of the high carbon content of lignin, converting lignin into advanced carbon-based structural or functional materials is regarded as one of the most promising solutions for both environmental protection and utilization of renewable resources. Significant progresses in lignin-based carbon materials (LCMs) including porous carbon, activated carbon, carbon fiber, carbon aerogel, nanostructured carbon, etc., for various valued applications have been witnessed in recent years. Here, this review summarized the recent advances in LCMs from the perspectives of preparation, structure, and applications. In particular, this review attempts to figure out the intrinsic relationship between the structure and functionalities of LCMs from their recent applications. Hopefully, some thoughts and discussions on the structure-property relationship of LCMs can inspire researchers to stride over the present barriers in the preparation and applications of LCMs.

Abstract
Polypyrrole has been extensively explored for Cr(VI) removal from wastewater towing to the advantages of superior performance, low cost, facile synthesis, and high environmental stability. However, the unsatisfactory adsorption capacity and complicated process of adsorbent separation from aqueous solutions remain a huge challenge, limiting its practical application. Herein, a flexible PPy membrane with bayberry-like vesicle structures (PPy-B) was prepared via template-assisted interfacial polymerization. It was found that sodium sulfosalicylate not only improved the flexibility and strength of the PPy-B membrane for easy-handling but also participated in the polymerization of PPy as a dopant to improve the specific surface area and doping level for increasing adsorption sites. Benefiting from these, the easy-handling PPy-B membrane exhibited a high adsorption capacity (586.90-682.50 mg/g at 298-318 K), a high reusability (five adsorption-desorption cycles), and a high ultimate adsorption capacity after adsorption-desorption cycles until membrane failure (1174.86 mg/g at 298 K). The proposed mechanisms of the enhanced Cr(VI) removal involve electrostatic adsorption, reduction, and ion exchange. This flexible PPy membrane therefore shows attractive advantages in wastewater treatment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 437:129345. [PMID: 35716565 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Reducing the harm of heavy metals to the environment has been a major scientific challenge. In this study, D-(+)-xylose was used to prepare an adsorbent with rich O groups and three-dimensional porous structures for Cr(VI) adsorption. What's more, the adsorption sites of many oxygen groups in the material were combined with the three-dimensionally connected porous structures, which made the adsorption sites fully in contact with Cr(VI). At the concentration of 300 mg/L, the removal rate of Cr(VI) was 94.50%, 6.4 times that of the non-porous treatment and 9.6 times that of the non-porous and O group treatment. The adsorbent showed a high adsorption capacity (910.10 mg/g) for Cr(VI), and the adsorption model proved that the adsorbent was a multi-molecular layer adsorbent. In addition, the adsorption was controlled by chemical reaction and diffusion, which was also attributed to the three-dimensional porous structure and abundant oxygen groups of the material. XPS and FTIR indicated that four O groups participated in the adsorption reaction (-OH, C-O-C, CO, and C-O), and C-O-C and C-O were the main reaction sites. After treating wastewater from electroplating plants with X-PC, the discharged water met international and domestic discharge standards (Cr(VI) removal rate> 99.90%). This work provides a new idea for the application of sugars in the environment and the design of porous adsorbents.

Abstract
The reduction and sequestration of toxic Cr(VI) via a one-step process in an aqueous solution is critical to eliminate its environmental risk. In this study, amine functionalized cellulose-based aerogel beads (CGP) was developed for simultaneous and efficient adsorption- reduction- sequestration of Cr(VI). CGP showed a maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of 386.40 mg/g at 25 °C due to its strong electrostatic attraction towards Cr(VI). The simultaneous Cr(VI) adsorption- reduction- sequestration performance of CGP over a wide Cr(VI) concentration range was examined. The mechanism was investigated in-depth via the analysis of adsorption kinetics, XPS spectra, and FTIR spectra. Moreover, the Cr immobilization stability of CGP after adsorption was evaluated in simulated neutral, acidic, and alkaline conditions. The effect of pH, temperature, ionic strength and the presence of interfering ions on CGP adsorption performance were investigated by batch adsorption experiments. Fixed-bed column adsorption study was performed to explore the application potential of CGP beads in a wastewater treatment process.
