As a staple food for much of the world, rice production is widespread. However, it also
results in the generation of large quantities of non-food biomass, primarily in the form of …

Water treatment agents (WTAs) are indispensable in various water treatment processes.
Amphoteric polymers possessing unique charge characteristic and diverse polymeric …

The synthesis and characterization of a novel nanocomposite is reported that was
developed as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of toxic methylene blue (MB) and methyl …

The coexistence of anionic dye, cationic dye and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in
dyeing wastewater has highlighted a great necessity to develop new and effective …

A double-network hydrophobic-hydrogel was successfully synthesized. Here
epichlorohydrin (ECH) and N, N-methylene bis-acrylamide act as the crosslinkers for starch …

Chemically modified bamboo (CMB) was utilized for removing methylene blue (MB) from
aqueous media in the present study. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform …

Three different starch-based flocculants with various chain architectures and charge
properties have been prepared through etherification, graft copolymerization, or their …

The molecular structure of a material substantially determines its final application
performance. In this work, a series of starch-based flocculants with different charge densities …

A series of cationized starch-based flocculants [ie, starch-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl
trimethylammonium chloride (St-WH)] with different charge densities (CDs) was synthesized …

Peanut husk was modified using a cationic surfactant hexadecylpyridinium bromide (CPB)
and used as an adsorbent (MPH) to remove light green dye (LG, anionic dye) from aqueous …
