The litter of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the water streams and soil bodies via
industrial effluents led to several adverse effects on the environment, health, and ecosystem …

Adsorption as a technique is preferred to these other methods in the mitigation of methyl
orange (MO) because of its simplicity in design and operation, indifferent sensitivity towards …

Chitosan based adsorbents have received a lot of attention for adsorption of dyes. Various
modifications of this polysaccharide have been investigated to improve the adsorption …

A batch equilibrium system has been used to investigate the adsorption of methyl orange
(MO) on NiO and CuO nanoparticles (NPs). The effects of experimental conditions such as …

We present an approach for synthesis of a micro-porous composite of two well-known
biopolymers, namely chitosan and alginate, using glutaraldehyde as the cross-linking agent …

A sustainable nanomaterial, cellulose nanofibril (CNF) was used to prepare aerogel
sorbents to remove various contaminants in wastewater. A mussel-inspired coating strategy …

A non-invasive textile-based colorimetric sensor for the simultaneous detection of sweat pH
and lactate was created by depositing of three different layers onto a cotton fabric: 1.) …

Compared with traditional polymers, biopolymers are more environmentally friendly due to
their sustainable sources, easy decomposition and naturally recycled by biological …

Novel hydrogel systems based on polyacrylamide/chitosan (PAAM/chitosan) or polyacrylic
acid/alginate (PAA/alginate) were prepared, characterized, and applied to reduce the …

Large scale application of solid sorbent for wastewater treatment have been barred with
problems associated with its difficulty of filtration and adsorbent recovery from aqueous …
