Search for: [Description = "This PhD manuscript contains new concepts focusing on experimental protocols and a proposal of new materials\/nanomaterials for hybrid methodologies allowing for the elimination of low\-molecular\-mass organic micropollutants from the water phase. The introduction to the manuscript consists of a problem overview and extensive discussion of current literature in the field of micropollutants and technological processes for their removal. As target micropollutants, four common dyes were selected and investigated\: Brilliant Blue, Malachite Green, Sunset Yellow and Ponceau 4R. Various experiments involving these chemicals were proposed including separation science and biological investigations \(activated sludge, duckweed organisms\). As active matrices, a number of both simple and complex substances were investigated, namely\: active carbon, lyophilized graphene oxide, β\-cyclodextrin, raw dandelion pappus, microcrystalline cellulose, raw pine pollen, and Egyptian Blue mineral pigments \(1.1.1. and 1.1.1a.\). A new approach for the synthesis of the selected nanomaterials were described in the details concerning lyophilised Graphene Oxide and Egyptian Blue dye. These materials were extensively characterized using a number of different physicochemical methods such as SEM, EDS, Raman and FTIR."]
