Perchlorate has received
tremendous attention in recent years, mainly due to the challenges
faced by the drinking water industry regarding its removal,
which has been very challenging for the researchers as perchlorate
ions are non-volatile, highly soluble, and kinetically inert in water [21].
As compared to the removal of other aquatic pollutants (e.g. metals,
organic pollutants), the removal of inorganic anions is often a challenging
task due to their physico-chemical properties,which play an important
role during their removal from aqueous phase.
