To introduce sulfur compounds into tannin-based flocculants, thiosemicarbazide (TC) was
selected as a raw material to react with black wattle bark tannin and formaldehyde through …

A novel functionalized polymeric flocculant on the basis of Konjac-graft-poly (acrylamide)-co-
sodium xanthate was synthesized via copolymerization reaction of crosslinked Konjac …

Two bioflocculants of starch-graft-P [acrylamide-acrylic acid](SAA) and starch-graft-P
[acrylamide-2-acacrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid](SAS) are designed for the …

A novel macromolecular heavy metal chelating flocculant, xanthated chitosan (XCTS), was
prepared by reacting chitosan with benzaldehyde, NaOH and CS 2. In a series of …

Dual-function chitosan-based flocculants with chelation and flocculation capacity,
carboxylated chitosan-graft-polyacrylamide (PCA), carboxylated chitosan-graft …

A novel amphoteric chelating polymer flocculant (ACPF) was synthesized. The synthesis
involved the copolymerization of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride and acrylamide to …

A linear and non-crosslinked polymer, EDTA-linked chitosan (ED-ch), was synthesized by N-
acylation of chitosan with EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) monoanhydride under …

In the current work, an environmentally friendly chitosan-based flocculant (carboxyethyl
chitosan, denoted as CEC) was prepared to flocculate copper (II) and tetracycline (TC) …

In this paper, the removal performance and mechanism of xanthated chitosan (XCTS)
towards heavy metal ions are investigated. XCTS possesses both strong chelating abilities …

Ni 2+ rich wastewater has caused critical water contamination, a growing issue of
environmental pollution as well as serious threat to aquatic organisms and human health. It …
