Nanocomposites composed of biopolymers and clay minerals have applications in several
fields, particularly in environmental remediation. In this study, a series of new adsorbents for …

To enhance the adsorption capacity of chitosan (Cht), which is an plenty of biopolymer,
zirconium loaded chitosan (Zr/Cht) and zirconium loaded chitosan modified by perlite …

In this study, bionanocomposites were prepared with bentonite and chitosan in proportions
of 50, 100, 200, and 300% of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the bentonite using …

The presence of antibiotics in soil and water raises great health concerns because they may
increase the development of harmful antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, composite …

In this study, chitosan-modified bentonite was synthesized using the coprecipitation method.
When the Na2CO3 content was 4%(weight of soil) and the mass ratio of chitosan to …

This study aims to investigate the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from water onto several
clays with different structural characteristics such as bentonite, sepiolite, vermiculite …

Sorption of tetracycline and copper onto chitosan is systematically investigated in this study.
The sorption of tetracycline and copper occurs rapidly in the first few hours and 90% of …

The removal of tetracycline (TC) from aqueous environment by illite (IMt-2) was studied in a
batch system at different pH and ionic strength conditions. Adsorbent characterizations were …

Composites based on bentonite and chitin were prepared and its application for
trimethoprim (TMP) adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated. Composites were …

In the present study, glutaraldehyde was used as a hydrophobic modifier to crosslink
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and copper ion was immobilized by sodium alginate (SA). Polyvinyl …
