TL;DR: In this article, the intraparticle diffusion model (IPD) was applied for the analysis of adsorption kinetics, and the characteristic curves based on this model were plotted with various initial adsorization factors (Ri).
1,069 citations
TL;DR: The most representative pharmaceutical families found in water were described and related water pollution issues were analyzed and the performances of different water treatment systems in the removal of pharmaceuticals were summarized.
1,050 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that for these applications the electrochemical properties of multiwalled and single walled (SWNTs) nanotubes are essentially dominated by their mesoporous character, and an almost linear dependence has been found between the mesopore volume and Cirr.

TL;DR: Coconut husk-based activated carbon was shown to be a promising adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions and was found to follow closely the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
