Abstract
composites at 360 min. The prominent adsorption capacity of the synthesized adsorbents was related to the abundant existence of -OH functional groups on the BC adsorbent surface and the abundance of pores widely distributed throughout the surface, facilitating the chemical and physical adsorption of boron. The synthesized adsorbents exhibited a promoted boron adsorption capacity and ease of recovery and reusability.
