In recent years, with the development of economy and industry, water contaminated with
heavy metal has become a global environmental problem. Vanadium (V) is an emerging …

Two centuries after the discovery of chitin, it is widely accepted that this biopolymer is an
important biomaterial in many aspects. Numerous studies on chitin have focused on its …

Chitosan is prepared from chitin, the second most abundant natural polymer in the world. It
is primarily composed of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine residues with a 1, 4-β …

The production of shrimp waste from shrimp processing industries has undergone a
dramatic increase in recent years. Continued production of this biomaterial without …

Chitosan is a polysaccharide formed mainly from repeating residues of D-glucosamine,
having primary amino groups. It is of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but …

The emerging demand for the enhancement of biodegradation of persistent organic
pollutants from marine oil spills using oil-treating agents to minimize the environmental …

Chitosan (CS), synthesized from chitin chemically extracted from shrimp shells, was used for
the synthesis of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4-CSN), which makes the …

Due to environmental concerns and decreasing global resources, removing aqueous heavy
metals from industrial wastewaters is important for ecological sustainability. In this work, the …

A new ultrasonic-thermostatic-assisted cloud point extraction procedure (UTA-CPE) was
developed for preconcentration at the trace levels of vanadium (V) and molybdenum (Mo) in …

In this present study, an inorganic-biopolymer composite based on chitosan-zirconium (IV)
was prepared and investigated as a biosorbent for the removal of vanadium (V) ions from …
