  • Porous carbon nanosheets (PCNSs) converted from mixed plastic waste and clay minerals demonstrated remarkable adsorption capabilities, effectively removing methylene blue from wastewater while maintaining 91% efficiency over 10 reuse cycles.

    “These PCNSs demonstrated remarkable adsorption capabilities, effectively removing methylene blue—a toxic dye—from wastewater while maintaining 91% efficiency over 10 reuse cycles, highlighting their potential for sustainable wastewater treatment.”
  • Porous carbon materials derived from plastic waste can adsorb heavy metals, dyes, and pollutants from wastewater.

    “Porous carbon materials derived from plastic waste can, indeed, adsorb heavy metals, dyes, and pollutants from wastewater.”
  • Combinations of various plastic materials, namely vinyl polymers (PS, PP, PE, PVC) and polyesters, were effectively used in the fabrication of porous carbon nanosheets.

    “Furthermore, combinations of various plastic materials, namely vinyl polymers (PS, PP, PE, PVC) and polyesters, were effectively used in the fabrication process of porous carbon nanosheets [57,83].”
  • The adsorption capacity of porous carbon nanosheets for methylene blue was 769.2 mg/g, significantly higher than most reported adsorbents, and carbon nanosheets had excellent recyclability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
