Nowadays, due to the economic and industrial development, water contaminated with heavy
metals is a significant concern and one of the acute global environmental problems …

Chitosan, a low cost polymer, has been used in many studies for adsorption of heavy metal
ions. This review covers the performance of all those adsorbents which were derived from …

Hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions. Therefore, the
removal of this contaminant from wastewater is of particular importance. Herein, a novel …

Hexavalent chromium is widely used in industrial fields, but its pollution has posed a great
threat to the environment due to its high toxicity. We created a chitosan-based microsphere …

Silica-titania core-shell nanocomposite (SiO 2–TiO 2) was successfully synthesized via
nanoparticle encapsulation route. The morphology and the chemical properties of the …

The effective strategy to solve the problems of low mechanical strength, low adsorption
efficiency and poor stability of chitosan is to modify it. In this work, Zr 4+ cross-linked …

Abstract Chitosan (CS)-based pH-sensitive nanocomposites were fabricated for the targeted
delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) to osteosarcoma cells. To prepare the nanocomposite, CS …

The presence of potentially toxic elements and compounds poses threats to the quality and
safety of fruit juices. Among these, Hg (II) is considered as one of the most poisonous heavy …

Biochar was prepared by torrefaction of ammonium persulphate pretreated bamboo (labeled
as APBC) and applied into elimination of Pb (II) from water solutions. APBC was …

This study presents an innovative multifunctional system in fabricating new functional wound
dressing (FWD) products that could be used for skin regeneration, especially in cases of …
