ABSTRACT Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] from anthropogenic sources leads to toxicity in
aquatic system and hence require efforts to remove it from the aqueous phase. Among many …

Chitosan-based silver nanocomposite beads were synthesized through the facile chemical
precipitation method, and its efficiency was evaluated for removal of hexavalent chromium …

The nanocomposite of chitosan-alumina was fabricated for the considerable adsorption of
the anionic contaminants including dyes (methyl orange (MO) and reactive black 5 (RB5)) …

In this work, the capability of blends of Henna with chitosan microparticles as novel
adsorbent was studied in order to remove Cr (VI) ions. Response surface method (RSM) as …

Shrimp waste served as the chitin source which, upon deacetylation, was transformed into
chitosan. This chitosan was then utilized to fabricate a nanocomposite with alumina …

Abstract Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using ferric
nitrate and ethylene glycol as precursors at 250 º C and 300 º C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

Aims: Synthesize and characterize a bio-polymer coated iron oxide nanoparticle, which has
