Environmental pollution, particularly from heavy metal ions in the wastewater, is one of the
most serious concerns of the world. In the pursuit of remedial action, various conventional …

Interest in chitosan, a biodegradable, nontoxic, non-antigenic, and biocompatible
biopolymer isolated from shellfish, arises from the fact that chitosans are reported to exhibit …

Copper sulfate has been immobilized over chitosan by simply stirring an aqueous
suspension of chitosan in water with copper sulfate; the ensuing catalyst has been utilized …

The present investigation highlights the effectiveness of surfactant modified chitosan bead
for adsorption of Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) from aqueous solution. An ideal experimental …

The development of safe and cost-effective methods for the treatment of dye polluted
wastewater has been a great concern among researchers. Herein, we developed a …

Halloysite nanoclay (HNC) was mixed with Chitin hydrogel film by phase inversion in water
vapor atmosphere at room temperature. In the preparation, Chitin was dissolved in N, N …

The present work elucidates achieving superior Cu (II) adsorption capacity using a facile
protocol and a biodegradable material. Copper is one of the most prevalent metals used in …

Chitosan has low uptake for most heavy metals as well as high solubility in monoprotic
acids. To address these problems, sulfur-containing functional groups have been introduced …

A novel Ce (III)-incorporated cross-linked chitosan (Ce-CCS) was prepared and used for the
removal of fluoride from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of Ce-CCS were …

Functionalized polypropylene nonwoven (PP) geotextiles can be used as a new eco-friendly
way to trap heavy metals in sediments. Chitosan was chosen as sorbent because of its …
