Overview of nanosorbents used in solid phase extraction techniques for the monitoring of emerging organic contaminants in water and wastewater samples

In this article, we have critically overviewed some interesting articles published in 2015-2019 about the use of the nanosorbents for the extraction of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) from various environmental samples. Properties, advantages, disadvantages, and the applicability of different categories of nanosorbents used for the extraction of EOCs are evaluated and discussed. The potential applications of these nanomaterials as adsorptive phase in solid-phase extraction (SPE) based techniques are reviewed. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
