caused by petroleum-based polymers motivate utilization of naturally occurring polymers to …

Fluoride contamination in drinking water due to natural and anthropogenic activities has
been recognized as one of the major problems worldwide imposing a serious threat to …

Fluoride is one of the anionic contaminants which is found in excess in surface or
groundwater because of geochemical reactions or anthropogenic activities such as the …

In the present study, chitosan in its more usable bead form has been chemically modified by
simple protonation and employed as a most promising defluoridating medium. Protonated …

A novel green synthesized iron-aluminum nanocomposite was prepared and characterized
by FESEM, FTIR, EDX, XRD, BET, DSC and TGA analysis. The clove extract acting as both …

Hydrated iron (III)–aluminum (III)–chromium (III) ternary mixed oxide (HIACMO) was
synthesized and characterized. FTIR studies confirmed the presence of M–O–M1 type bond …

In recent years, faced with the improvement of environmental quality problems, cellulose
and cellulose-based (nano) composites have attracted great attention as adsorbents. In this …

A novel sorbent for the removal of fluoride is prepared by immobilizing Zr (IV) on
