matter. The new composite is stable up to 900 °C and is an efficient adsorbent for the removal of a water micropollutant, 4-nitrophenol, and a pathogen, E. coli, from an aqueous medium, suggesting applications in water remediation are feasible.

to produce hybrid carbon/inorganic adsorbents [19][20].
We have previously described the synthesis and performance of a new hybrid material based on kaolinite and Caricapapayaseeds for water treatment [1]. The material has several advantages over conventional processes: (i) it can be made from
