1) To ensure clarity, use arrows, as shown in figure 2a, to indicate the corresponding ordinate axis for all figures that have two ordinates.
2) What happened to the aqueous rinse solution after regenerating the adsorbent?
3) Some comments should be included regarding the treatment or confinement that the adsorbent underwent or would undergo after being used in the adsorption process.

Reviewer #4: Separation and Purification Technology

Manuscript Draft-SEPPUR-D-22-02143R1

This manuscript discusses the use of a hierarchically porous carbon adsorbent derived from synthetized lotus pollen for the adsorption removal of a textile dye. The manuscript is well-written and scientifically sound. It presents a novel carbon adsorbent that demonstrates a high adsorption capacity for the investigated textile contaminant. The manuscript also provides information on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process, as well as the reuse and stability of the adsorbent.

Today, the article has finally been accepted after three reviews. Let me first talk about the submission process:

Shuguang Deng, the editor, is very good. The review was completed in just one week.

Submitted on May 18th, returned for revision in early June, with three reviewers assigned. The editor requested major revisions and provided a three-week revision period. Upon resubmission, only two reviewers accepted the revised manuscript. One rejected it, while the other accepted it. The editor requested major revisions again, and after the second round of revisions, it took approximately two weeks for acceptance. Many thanks to editor Shuguang Deng for providing the opportunity for a second revision.

Submitted on the 30th, it was sent for review on the same day, and then returned after half a month with a rejection. There were two reviewers, the first one gave a rejection; the second reviewer raised 7 questions, suggesting major revisions, and also mentioned language issues. After considering the overall situation, the editor gave a rejection but said it could be resubmitted.

After making revisions for half a month, I sought help from a polishing agency. I just submitted it today, praying for a positive outcome. This is my first first-author article during my Ph.D., and I hope it will have a good result. I also wish everyone in the scientific research community good results with their articles.

The journal's speed is very fast, and I also wish the journal will continue to improve!
