This study addresses this challenge by synthesizing two poly(N-vinyl imidazole)-based nanocomposite hydrogels, VMG (non-ionic crosslinking) and VDG (cationic crosslinking via 3, 3′ -divinyl-1, 1′ (1, 6-hexanediyl) di-imidazolium dibromide), incorporating 4.0 wt% of N-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) to potentially enhance adsorption capacity. Characterization was performed using FTIR, XRD, SEM–EDS, BET, TEM, zeta potential (ZP), and swelling tests. VDG was selected for anionic dye adsorption studies due to its higher swelling and porous structure. ZP measurements of the adsorbent indicated that the ZP value was influenced not only by the solution pH but also by the presence of NGQDs in the nanocomposite. BET results indicated that the resulting VDG exhibited a high surface area of 245.02 m<sup>2</sup>/g. Batch experiments demonstrated highly efficient removal of model anionic dyes, Congo red (CR) and Methyl orange (MO), achieving maximum adsorption capacities of 454.54 and 400.0 mg/g at pH 7.0- and 60-min contact time, conditions likely favoring electrostatic interactions. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic data best fit the Langmuir for both CR and MO, pseudo-first order model for CR and Elovich model for MO, suggesting monolayer adsorption and a predominantly chemisorption-controlled process. The thermodynamic data indicated that dyes adsorption onto the VDG was endothermic and spontaneous.

The derivation is based on a simplified Baygents-Saville model, in which no ions are present inside the drop. This model incorporates the Marangoni effect arising from interfacial tension gradients. The resulting analytic expression shows excellent agreement with the numerical results of Baygents and Saville for low zeta potential values, validating the accuracy of the approximation. It is found that, under the assumption of no internal ions, the electrophoretic mobility of the drop is independent of its internal dielectric permittivity. This behavior stands in contrast to the case of an oil drop with a uniform, constant surface charge density, where the mobility depends on the drop's internal dielectric permittivity. However, it is similar to the case of rigid particles, as shown by O’Brien and White. Furthermore, it is found that in the analytic expression for the electrophoretic mobility of a mercury drop, the leading term proportional to <i>κa</i> (where <i>κ</i> is the Debye–Hückel parameter and <i>a</i> is the drop radius) completely cancels out for an oil drop due to the tangential Maxwell stress and the Marangoni effect—both of which are absent in the case of a mercury drop.
