Adsorption of aniline using novel mesoporous carbon nitride
Aniline is a toxic organic pollutant that is abundantly present in the environment. One of approaches to remove the aniline is by adsorption process. In this study, mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) was proposed for the first time to be a potential adsorbent for aniline. The adsorption studies were ca...

Aniline is a toxic organic pollutant that is abundantly present in the environment. One of approaches to remove the aniline is by adsorption process.
