Carbon-cryogel hierarchical composites as effective and scalable filters for removal of trace organic pollutants from water. Journal of Environmental Management, 182, 141-148. DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.07.061http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2124Effective technologies are required to remove organic micropollutants from large fluid volumes to overcome present and future challenges in water and effluent treatment. A novel hierarchical composite filter material for rapid and effective removal of polar organic contaminants from water was developed. The composite is fabricated from phenolic resin-derived carbon microbeads with controllable porous structure and specific surface area embedded in a monolithic, flow permeable, poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesComposite materialscryogelHierarchical structuresPhenolic carbonWater treatmentResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Engineering physicsArticle
