Özet

The discharge of dyes and antibiotics (ATBs) into the water streams causes severe water and soil pollution, which poses a global threat to aquatic ecosystems and humans. Clay-based nanomaterials (C@NMs) exhibited great potency as adsorbents to sustainably eradicate dyes and ATBs from water bodies and waste sites due to their large surface area, tunable porosity, and surface reactivity. Various types of clay minerals and their modifications to engineer NMs with tailored adsorption properties are extensively explored. Comparative studies with conventional adsorbents further underscore the superior adsorption performance of C@NMs. In addition, the underlying adsorption mechanisms and intermolecular forces governing how the adsorbent and adsorbate interact are elucidated. In terms of views, the review likely highlights the significance of developing efficient and cost-effective methods for removing pollutants from water sources, considering the increasing concerns about water pollution and its detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Looking to the future, the review may suggest areas for further research and development in the field of C@NMs for water purification. This could include optimizing the synthesis methods to enhance the adsorption capacity and selectivity of these materials, exploring novel modification techniques to improve their performance under different environmental conditions, and conducting more comprehensive studies on the long-term stability and recyclability of C@NM adsorbents.
