Metal/mineral-incorporating materials have received significant attention over the last
decades given the outstanding adsorption behavior towards various pollutants, especially …

Adsorption has been an important method for removing heavy metals from industrial
wastewater. However, there has been a lack of an environmentally friendly, low-cost …

We demonstrate the highly selective and exceptionally efficient capture of toxic oxoanions of
As (III)/As (V)(HAsO32–/HAsO42–) and Cr (VI)(CrO42–) by the Mg/Al layered double …

Herein, we investigated a new strategy to modify the graphene oxide (GO) with sodium
alginate (SA) using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a binding agent. The graphene oxide …

Heavy metal toxicity has demonstrated to be a crucial issue for environment and human
health. There has been an increasing ecological and global public health concern related …

Nature derived biopolymers such as polysaccharides and collagen have attracted
considerable attention in biomedical applications. Despite excellent biocompatibility and …

The biopolymer, alginate can be made into various usable forms like beads, membrane and
candle for the development of water technology. In the present study, an attempt has been …

Hydrophobic modification of sodium alginate (SA) foams via a simple freeze-drying and post
cross-linking induced by zirconium (Zr) ions was developed. All results demonstrated that Zr …

Recently, nanomaterials based adsorbents play a prominent role in the removal of toxic ions
from aqueous solution. Hence in the present study, nano-graphene oxide (n-GO) fabricated …

A biocompatible sorbent, namely, nano-hydroxyapatite embedded gelatin (n-HApGel)
composite, was developed by an in situ precipitation method. The synthesized biocomposite …
