This review provides a quantitative description of the nano-adsorbent processing and its
viability against wastewater detoxification by extracting heavy metal ions. The impact of …

Chitosan, a low cost polymer, has been used in many studies for adsorption of heavy metal
ions. This review covers the performance of all those adsorbents which were derived from …

Chitosan has received widespread attention as an adsorbent for pollutants because of its
low cost and great adsorption potentials. Chitosan has abundant hydroxyl and amino groups …

The endless introduction of toxic heavy metals through industrialization has worsened the
heavy metal pollution in the environment. Thus, the need for its effective removal has …

Chitosan and chitin are categorized as low cost, renewable and eco-friendly biopolymers.
However, they have low mechanical properties and unfavorable pore properties in terms of …

Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted much attention in the past few years because of its
interesting and promising electrical, thermal, mechanical, and structural properties. These …

The present study involves the adsorption of hexavalent Chromium (Cr (VI)) using chitosan
grafted graphene oxide (CS-GO) nanocomposite in batch mode. The CS-GO nanocomposite …

In this study, we investigated the performance of a cross-linked chitosan (Ch)-zeolite (Z)
composite (Ch-Z) adsorbent for the removal of Pb 2+ ions from water. The results revealed …

Over the years, heavy metal pollution has become a very serious environmental problem
worldwide. Even though anthropogenic sources are believed to be the major cause of heavy …

Carbon-centric adsorbents (CCA) are diverse forms, from simple biochar (BC) to graphene
derivatives, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and activated carbon (AC), which have been vastly …
