Tuning surface interactions with bentonite-graphite composite material for fouling-resistant electrochemical sensing of phenol in olive mill wastewater by Soukaina El Abbadi, Abdelaziz Elgamouz, Abdel-Nasser Kawde, Mohamed Douma, Hajar El Moustansiri, Najib Tijani

“…The sensor achieved a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.015 μM and a quantification limit (LOQ) of 0.052 μM. The molecular recognition behavior of the electrode surface, facilitated by bentonite’s layered silicate structure and charge distribution, endowed the sensor with excellent selectivity toward phenol over potential interferents, including Cu²⁺ ( ± 2 %), Fe³ ⁺ ( ± 6.2 %), Zn²⁺ ( ± 7.1 %), 4-nitrophenol ( ± 5.1 %), and 2-nitrophenol ( ± 10.8 %). …”
