With globally increased human population and industrialization, the natural sources of water
are reduced and then contaminated. Therefore, development of advanced technologies for …

In this study, we developed granular activated carbon-doped Mg-Al LDH composites
(MgAl@ AC) with an Mg: Al molar ratio of 3: 1 using the co-precipitation method. The MgAl …

In this study, polyaniline grafted chitosan (PGC) was employed as an adsorbent for the
removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solution. The PGC was characterized using …

Marine biofouling is a worldwide problem affecting maritime industries. Global concerns
about the high toxicity of antifouling paints have highlighted the need to develop less toxic …

To develop relatively green and ecofriendly smart vehicles for colon-specific drug delivery,
carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CS) pH-sensitive biopolymers were used in …

Biosorption is considered an effective technique for the treatment of heavy-metal-bearing
wastewaters. In recent years, various biogenic products, including native and functionalized …

Hydrogels have extensively studied as adsorbents, raw materials for the preparation of
adsorbent hydrogels have low strength, while high strength hydrogels have weak adsorption …

Porous chitosan microspheres were successfully developed by the simple procedure of
freezing chitosan hydrogel beads and subsequently lyophilizing the frozen structure in …

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 …

Chitosan has several shortcomings that limit its practical application for the adsorption of
heavy metals: mechanical instability, a challenging separation and recovery process, and …
