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 final step during produced water treatment. The cost of functionalization also hinders the use of hydrophobic materials as sorbents. Novel hydrop...
