In a process for purifying liquids, the liquids to be purified are contacted with aerogels as an adsorbent for a time sufficient to adsorb impurities contained in the liquids. In another process for purifying gases or liquids, the gases or liquids to be purified are contacted with hydrophobized aerogels as adsorbents for a time sufficient to adsorb impurities contained in the gases or liquids. |
