Copper is one of the most toxic heavy metals which must be eliminated from aqueous
environments, according to the environmental standards. Carbohydrate biopolymers are …

In this mini-review, we shall first cover a short history of the discovery of chitin isolated from
sponges; as well as its evolutionarily ancient roots. Next, we will delve into the unique …

Recently magnetic bio-composites have attracted the attention of scientists because of their
unique characteristics like selectivity and high sorption capacity. In the present study, Fe 3 O …

Chitin has become a desirable raw material used in various areas of life. The black soldier
fly (Hermetia illucens) can be a source of this substance. In the literature, there are many …

This study described the possibility of using chemically modified chitin with polypyrrole (PPy-
g-Ch) as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solution. The …

A chitin/lignin material with defined physicochemical and morphological properties was
used as an effective adsorbent of environmentally toxic metals from model systems …

In order to increase the copper sorption capacity (SC) of raw chitosan beads (CB), they were
chemically modified into protonated chitosan beads (PCB), carboxylated chitosan beads …

Preparing samples for analyses is perhaps the most important part to analyses. The varied
functional groups present on the surface of biopolymers bestow them appropriate adsorption …

A novel biosorbent, immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae in magnetic chitosan
microspheres was prepared, characterized, and used for the removal of Sr 2+ from aqueous …

The present study deals with the in situ synthesis of polypyrrole functionalized chitin (PC)
and its application for the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The prepared PC was …
