Recalcitrant contaminants, such as agrochemicals and dyes, are reported to have hazardous effects on the ecosystem, and the issue has been addressed using various methods. It has been found that clay nanocomposites (CNCs) are highly potent in remediating contaminants from aqueous media and have significant efficacy in the sustainable treatment of contaminated water. This review investigates CNCs for their utility in the environmental remediation of dyes, agrochemicals, and organic compounds. Moreover, it addresses the various methods of synthesis of clay nanocomposites and the parameters influencing their efficacy, such as solution acidity, system entropy/energy, sorption duration, contaminant amount, and sorbent loading. To assess the performance of CNCs, the highest sorption uptake, the sorbate/sorbent mechanism, and the rate of adsorption are also explained. Machine learning applications for performance modeling were discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
