Background Over the past decades, the growing industrialization caused continuously
increased release of heavy metal into environment. Through the food chain, heavy metals …

Water pollution by heavy metal ions (HMs) is a major issue requiring highly efficient
treatment methods such as enhanced adsorption. In particular, alginate-based hydrogel has …

Pectin (Pec) and cellulose microfibers (CF) extracted from orange waste were combined to
form composite beads with enhanced adsorption capacity. Such beads were extensively …

Pine cone shell (PCS), a vegetable solid waste has been used as effective and efficient
biosorbent for the removal of Cu (II) from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was …

The adsorption of Cu (II) by pumice was investigated in a batch system. Optimization of
medium conditions was studied through experimental design. Response surface …

In recent years, due to an expansion of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, there has been
growing interest in biodegradable and antibacterial polymers that can be used in selected …

In order to eliminate the great threat posed by Cu (II) in water to human health and
ecosystem safety, graphene oxide-zirconium oxide/sodium alginate (GZS) aerogel spheres …

The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of specific anions on the cross-linking
process of highly methoxylated pectin using the following copper salts CuSO4; Cu …

The biosorption of several heavy metals such as cobalt (II), chromium (III), lead (II), cadmium
(II), nickel (II), and manganese (II) from aqueous systems on living microalgae cultures …

Considering the rich sugar beet resource in **njiang, China, the possibilities for Hg (II)
removal by pectin extracted from sugar beet pulp and optimization of the extraction process …
