Adsorption serves as an effective way to collect (remove) contaminants from aqueous solution. In the present study, a novel floating adsorbent was designed through surface modification of a layered alkali silicate (octosilicate) using a silane coupling reagent (chlorodimethyl­[3-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluo...
