Synthesis of carbon xerogels at varying sol–gel pHs, dye adsorption and chemical regeneration

Several carbon xerogels were synthesized at varying sol–gel pHs of 6–10 using KOH as a catalyst. The porous structure, dye adsorption and regeneration by chemical oxidation of the carbon xerogels were comprehensively investigated. It was found that sol–gel pH significantly affected the porous struct...
