This review discusses the recent trends in the research over the last 30 years to use clay
minerals in natural and modified forms for removing different toxic organic/inorganic …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have aroused widespread attention as a new type of adsorbents
due to their outstanding ability for the removal of various inorganic and organic pollutants …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic heavy metals commonly found in the global
environment. Its toxicity is related to the capacity of its compounds to bioconcentrate in …

Providing comprehensive coverage of the biological activities and industrial applications of
Chitin, Chitosan, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, this book presents a balance of …

Magnetic chitosan microspheres were prepared and chemically modified with thiourea
(TMCS) for adsorption of metal ions. TMCS obtained were investigated by means of X-ray …

Cross-linked magnetic chitosan-isatin Schiff's base resin (CSIS) was prepared for adsorption
of metal ions. CSIS obtained was investigated by means of FTIR, 1H NMR, wide-angle X-ray …

A literature survey on liquid-phase adsorption of selected heavy metals including Cu (II), Zn
(II), Ni (II), Cd (II), Pb (II), Hg (II), and Cr (VI) on chitosan (CTS) and its derivatives was made …

In agricultural field, polymers are widely used for many applications. Although they were
used, in the first time, just as structural materials (inhert polymers), in the last decades …

Chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CTPP) beads were prepared using in-liquid curing method and
used for the adsorption of uranium from aqueous solution. Beads were prepared at two …

Magnetic chitosan particles were successfully modified by amidoxime-grafting (as
evidenced by FTIR analysis, SEM-EDX analysis, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) …
