Adsorption of Erythrosine Red onto Silica Synthesized with Ora-Pro-Nobis as a Natural Porogenic Template: Equilibrium, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Evaluation

In this study, a silica-based adsorbent was synthesized via a two-step sol–gel route. A branch of ora-pro-nobis (Pereskia aculeata Miller) was used as a porogenic template. The biomass was incorporated into the silica matrix and subsequently removed by calcination. The resulting...
