The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics equation provide the best representation of the adsorption data. The adsorption mechanism primarily involves electrostatic and hydrophobic contacts. Alcohols and alkalis are both often and successfully used to renew exhausted adsorbents. This review offers insights into recent advances in surfactant modification as an eco-friendly, flexible, and efficient technique for the enhancement of adsorption performance against dyes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 106398"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
