Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are
limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer …

Chitosan and its modifications have received great attention over the past few decades due
to its outstanding adsorption behavior toward various toxic heavy metals from aqueous …

In this study, a magnetic chitosan/Al 2 O 3/Fe 3 O 4 (M-Cs) nanocomposite was developed
by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) functionalization to enhance its adsorption …

In this article, the efficacy of synthesized chitosan polyvinyl alcohol derivatives has been
investigated for cyclic multi-heavy metal removal. Thereby, derivative resin revealed the …

The nanofibers membranes were fabricated by poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan (PVA/Chi) using
an electro-spun technique for selective and high adsorption of lead (Pb (II)) and cadmium …

In this study, chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/zeolite nanofibrous composite membrane was
fabricated via electrospinning. First, crude chitosan was hydrolyzed with NaOH for 24 h …

Various adsorbents have been used to remove different types of dyes and heavy metal ions
from wastewater especially those that are harmful to mankind. Activated carbons, plant or …

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 …

In recent years, polymeric adsorbent is gaining more interest over classical adsorbents such
as clays and activated carbon due to its tunable physicochemical properties, structural …

A chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/zeolite composite was fabricated in this study. The
composite was analyzed through field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier …
