Correction: Synthesis and characterization of AFe₂O₄ (A: Ni, Co, Mg)–silica nanocomposites and their application for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) by an adsorption process: kinetics, isotherms and experimental design

Abstract

Correction for ‘Synthesis and characterization of AFe₂O₄ (A: Ni, Co, Mg)–silica nanocomposites and their application for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) by an adsorption process: kinetics, isotherms and experimental design’ by Fahimeh Vafaee et al., RSC Adv., 2021, 11, 22661–22676, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1RA02780H.

The authors regret an error in Fig. 4 where a section of the XRD for 4(a) and (b) is identical.

Fig. 4. (a) The XRD pattern of sample 3 after adsorption of DBT. (b) The XRD pattern of sample 3 before adsorption of DBT.

The authors have repeated the experiment and provided new data for Fig. 4. An independent expert has viewed the new data and has concluded that it is consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented. The correct Fig. 4 is shown below:

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
