Abstract
Correction for ‘Development of a novel cellulose foam augmented with candle-soot derived carbon nanoparticles for solar-powered desalination of brackish water’ by Amrit Kumar Thakur et al., Environ. Sci.: Nano, 2022, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d1en01112j.
In section 2.4, section 4.2 and Table 4, mild steel is incorrectly referred to as “milled steel”.
In section 2.4, the correct sentence is “The water basin was fabricated using a 2 mm thick mild steel absorber plate with length, width, and height of 500 mm, 270 mm and 50 mm respectively”.
In section 4.2, the correct sentences are “The absorber is made of mild steel with a black painted surface which helps in heating the water and initiation of evaporation” and “Owing to the superior thermal conductivity (∼50 W m−1 K−1) of the mild steel absorber, the absorber exhibited the highest temperature among all three junctions with peak temperatures of 53 °C (01.07.2021) and 54 °C (02.07.2021) for the conventional TSS with the bare absorber”.
In Table 4, the correct entry is “Mild-steel based water basin”.
