Citation:
Lu, Y., Wu, Q., Meng, X., Xu, Y., & Zhang, J. (2025). Highly efficient and rapid adsorption of dyes by hollow mesoporous carbon spheres. Separation and Purification Technology.
Summary:
This study introduces hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCS) as a highly effective adsorbent for removing organic dyes from wastewater. The HMCS exhibit a large surface area and uniform pore distribution, facilitating rapid and efficient dye adsorption. The research demonstrates that these carbon spheres can achieve near-complete dye removal in a short time frame, highlighting their potential for practical wastewater treatment applications.
