Amino-functionalized nanocrystalline cellulose as an adsorbent for anionic dyes (2015, unknown): “…been found to be superior to other techniques in terms of flexibility and simplicity of design, initial cost, insensitivity to toxic pollutants and ease of operation and is considered an ideal method for removing dyes or other pollutants (Crini 2006; Deng et al. 2012; Unuabonah and Taubert 2014).”
A Review of the Synthesis and Applications of Polymer–Nanoclay Composites (2018, background): “Polymer/nanoclay composites are able to deliver a high adsorption capacity and an excellent life cycle for water treatment/remediation due to their easy processability, effective cation exchange, large surface area, and their relatively low cost and toxicity [211].”
Clay-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron composite materials for the remediation of contaminated aqueous solutions: A review (2017, background): “However, the efficiency of neat clay minerals for the remediation of aqueous micropollutants is not very high owing to their low surface area [107].”
