A critical review on VOCs adsorption by different porous materials: Species, mechanisms and modification methods

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have attracted world-wide attention regarding their serious hazards on ecological environment and human health. Industrial processes such as fossil fuel combustion, petrochemicals, painting, coatings, pesticides, plastics, contributed to the large proportion of anthropogenic VOCs emission. Destructive methods (catalysis oxidation and biofiltration) and recovery methods (absorption, adsorption, condensation and...
