Highlights

A. Asghar et al in “Comparison of Adsorption Capability of Activated Carbon and Metal Doped TiO2 for Geosmin and 2-MIB Removal from Water” presented a facile method to synthesis of the Fe doped and Pt doped TiO2 nanoparticles
The results show that the degradation of high molecular weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PYR, BaP, and DahA were accelerated significantly in the presence of Pt/TiO2-SiO2, while the degradation efficiency of low molecular weight (LMW) PAHs, NP, FL, and PHE were inhibited under the same experimental conditions
Compared with granular activated carbon which is the most widely used water purification, such doped TiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated their potential application for Geosmin and 2-MIB adsorbent because of their smaller size, larger surface, and more active adsorption site

Summary

Introduction

A. Asghar et al in “Comparison of Adsorption Capability of Activated Carbon and Metal Doped TiO2 for Geosmin and 2-MIB Removal from Water” presented a facile method to synthesis of the Fe doped and Pt doped TiO2 nanoparticles. Compared with granular activated carbon which is the most widely used water purification, such doped TiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated their potential application for Geosmin and 2-MIB adsorbent because of their smaller size, larger surface, and more active adsorption site. The present experimental results suggest that metal doped titania nanoparticles demonstrate significant adsorption potential for the accelerated removal for earthy-musty odor producing compounds in the drinking water.
