In recent years, the use of chitosan and its derivatives as flocculants in water treatment has
received considerable attention due to their many advantages, including their widespread …

Flocculation is an essential phenomenon in industrial wastewater treatment. Inorganic
coagulants (salts of multivalent metals) are being commonly used due to its low cost and …

Chitosan is a partially deacetylated polymer obtained from the alkaline deacetylation of
chitin, a biopolymer extracted from shellfish sources. Chitosan exhibits a variety of physico …

In this work, a grafted (with carboxylic groups) chitosan material was synthesized and the
adsorption mechanism of a basic dye (Remarcyl Red TGL denoted as CR) and a heavy …

To increase acid resistance, a water soluble diepoxy compound [1, 2: 7, 8-diepoxyoctane
(DEO)] as a new crosslinker was successfully used to crosslink chitosan beads (CS). The …

The functionalization of polymeric substances is of great interest for the development of
innovative materials for advanced applications. For many decades, the functionalization of …

The presence of high moisture content in sewage sludge aggravates the disposal costs and
restricts its application. Sewage sludge is traditionally conditioned by dosing …

Flocculation and settling performance (kinetic, robustness, upflow velocity, and overall solids
removal) have been significantly improved over the past forty years due to the development …

A novel composite of chitosan modified biochar (CPB) and MnFe 2 O 4 (MnFe 2 O 4@ CPB)
was prepared successfully through mild chemical co-precipitation method which worked …

Flocculation is a common technique that is widely used in many industrial applications to
promote solid–liquid separation processes. The addition of a polymeric flocculant allows for …
