There is a large amount of studies surrounding the usage of agro-industrial waste (AIW) for
the adsorptions of organic pollutants (dyes) and inorganic pollutants (heavy metals) in …

This work concerns the investigation of potential candidature of cellulose and chitosan–
based nano–sized materials for heavy metals and dyes removal. Cellulose and chitosan …

Emerging pollutants in the marine ecosystem, as well as their possible impact on live
species, have become a rising cause of worry. A traditional wastewater treatment plants …

Carbon composite lignin-based adsorbent were prepared through hydrothermal method
with glucose as carbon source, calcium lignosulfonate and triethylene tetramine as raw …

Water-insoluble β-cyclodextrin-based fibers were synthesized by electrospinining followed
by thermal cross-linking. The fibers were characterized by field-emission scanning electron …

Herein, a metal–organic framework (MOF-5) is synthesized by a solvothermal process and
graphene oxide (GO) is prepared from the improved Hummer's method. The synthesis of …

Application of chitinous products in wastewater treatment has received considerable
attention in recent years in the literature. In particular, the development of chitosan-based …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) prepared from cellulose fibre via sulfuric acid hydrolysis was
used as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The …

Chitin is the world's second most abundant naturally occurring polysaccharide. Much of this
is disposed of as waste from seafood crustacean, mainly in shrimps, prawns, crabs, and …

In the current study, the functionalization of graphite oxide (GO) with magnetic chitosan
(Chm) was investigated to prepare a nanocomposite material (GO–Chm) for the adsorption …
