Modified silica gels as recyclable adsorbents of aqueous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of toxic organic molecules containing multiple fused aromatic rings, are found in air, soil and water as a by-product from the incomplete combustion of organic matter. We report on the modification of silica gel using lipophilic molecules containing c...
