Novel hydrophilic and hydrophobic amorphous silica: Characterization and adsorption of aqueous phase organic compounds
Very few studies have investigated the adsorption performance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic silicas with dissolved organics in water, which is a required GPS final step during produced water treatment.The cost of functionalization also hinders the use of hydrophobic materials as sorbents.Novel hydrophilic silicas, prepared at low temperature and a
