Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of high-performance adsorbent materials in solving environmental problems has recently sparked a lot of attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties, which make them superior to traditional adsorbents. The ability to functionalize materials by attaching specified functional groups to their surfaces enables the formation of a variety of designed high performance adsorbent materials for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. This Special Issue contains a thorough investigation and analysis of the application of sophisticated adsorbent materials in the treatment of contaminated wastewaters containing various oils. It will also concentrate on recovery methods and possible solutions for nanomaterial regeneration and reuse.
