Boron removal from saline samples (produced and formation waters) using the proposed material NMDG@GO adsorbent.
| Sample | Salinity (‰) | C i a (mg L−1) | Initial mass of boron in solution (μg) | Adsorbed mass of boron (μg) | Boron removal (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FW | 9 | 10.47 ± 1.05 | 104.7 | 23.03 | 22 ± 2 |
| PWA | 30 | 4.80 ± 0.01 | 48.0 | 14.88 | 31 ± 5 |
| PWB | 65 | 26.46 ± 0.01 | 264.6 | 92.61 | 35 ± 2 |
| PWC | 220 | 71.49 ± 0.01 | 714.9 | 207.32 | 29 ± 1 |
C i is the initial concentration of boron in the sample.
