What is the role of surface chemistry in enhancing pollutant adsorption on nanomaterials?
Surface chemistry plays an important role by way of determining the electrostatic interactions between the surface and the pollutant. For example, if we were to talk about dye adsorption, the surface charge of the adsorbent will determine its interactions and efficiencies when dealing with cationic or anionic dyes. Surface modification can be done by adding specific charged molecules to improve their performance.
Thankyou Mrudul Velhal :How does surface chemistry influence electrostatic interactions with pollutants?
Why is the surface charge of an adsorbent important in dye adsorption?
How does the surface charge affect the adsorption of cationic vs. anionic dyes?
What methods can be used for surface modification to enhance adsorption performance?
What types of charged molecules are commonly used for surface modification in adsorption processes?
Please check this paperArticle The review of oral adsorbents and their properties
Surface chemistry plays major role to influence adsorption capacity, chemical and thermal stability and enhance the selectivity of an analyte. This can be through surface functionnalization, modification, surface charge and covalent of non-covalent interactions which can be by hydrogen, electrostatic,π-π and Lewis acids and bases, chelation, coordination Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. It also explain the pore structures and surface area as well as
magnetic and superparamagnetic properties. Feel free to contact for questions or collaborations
