Abstract
The growing global demand for freshwater necessitates advanced water treatment technologies. This review highlights the application of fibrous silica spheres, KCC-1, in water remediation, focusing on the removal of heavy metals and organic dyes. KCC-1’s unique fibrous morphology, high surface area, and physicochemical properties make it a promising adsorbent. This work examines its synthesis, modifications, and advantages, providing insights into optimizing KCC-1-based adsorbents for sustainable water treatment.
