Abstract
Surface water is widely adulterated by hazardous pollutants such as dyes, pharmaceutical wastes, surfactants, heavy metals, hormones, etc. Hence, there is a necessity to develop a water treatment technology that can overcome all the major water-related problems. The conventional methods for water disinfection are very specific and expensive. The challenge is to devise a purification protocol without forming harmful byproducts, which opens up the opportunity for new technologies with efficient materials toward water treatment. The present work demonstrates a sustainable strategy for robust water purification through a powder based membrane fabricated from a highly oxygenated and Al-functionalized solvothermal carbon (Al-STC) composite. AlOOH/Al(OH)3 functionalized Al-STCs with improved surface acidity were prepared by a low temperature solvothermal process from a eutectic system (ES) comprising ethylene glycol (EG), choline chloride (ChoCl), glucose (Glu), and aluminum salt. The ES acts as both carbon prec...
