Figure 5From: Significantly enhanced dye removal performance of hollow tin oxide nanoparticles via carbon coating in dark environment and study of its mechanismAdsorption kinetics and removal rate. (a) Adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm with the corresponding percentage removal of RhB at two different initial concentrations (C) with a contact time of 45 min (S1 and S4 are naked hollow SnO2 nanoparticles, S2 and S5 are hollow SnO2@C nanoparticles, and S3 and S6 are commercial SnO2 nanoparticles; the CRhB for S1 to S3 is 5 mg/L, and the CRhB for S4 to S6 is 10 mg/L). (b) The comparison of the removal rate of the different samples (S1: hollow SnO2, S2: hollow SnO2@C nanoparticles, S3: commercial SnO2).Back to article page
