Considerable concern exists regarding water contamination by various pollutants, such as
conventional pollutants (eg, heavy metals and organics) and emerging micropollutants (eg …

The present work reports the adsorption behavior involved in the adsorption of heavy metal
ions using a hybrid inulin-tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) adsorbent produced through the sol-gel …

Over the past few years, population growth, industrial progress and climate change have led
to water scarcity. Thus, water pollution caused by hazardous soluble and insoluble …

Two sorbents are successfully synthesized based on the chemical modification of gellan
gum (GG). First, thiosemicarbazide is grafted onto GG to produce GEG-C. In a second step …

A thermal/pH-sensitive interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel was prepared facilely from
starch and poly (α-l-lysine) through amino-anhydride and azide-alkyne double-click …

Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) was produced from type-A, B and C native starches (corn,
potato and Trichosanthes kirilowii pulp starches respectively), via the nanoprecipitation …

It is a challenging task to remove Pb (II) ions efficiently from wastewater containing high
concentrations of hardness ions. In this study, a novel hybrid polymer (DVP) for selective …

Sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) cross-linked starch (SCS) and the cross-linked-
carboxymethyl starch (SCCS) derivatives were synthesized using native starch (NS) from …

Landfills are struggling to accommodate the increasing amounts of carbon soot ash waste
from oil refineries. Due to extensive industrial productions, large quantities of lead ions are …

A novel nanocomposite magnetic hydrogel was synthesized based on κ-carrageenan,
acrylic acid, and activated carbon as an absorbent for removing heavy metal ions from …
