Biopolymer-based flocculants have become a potential substitute for inorganic coagulants
and synthetic organic flocculants due to their wide natural reserves, environmental …

Microplastics (MPs) have become a significant source of concern as they have emerged as
a widespread pollutant that harms the aquatic environment. It has become an enormous …

In this paper we describe the preparation and testing of a new class of chitosan-based
flocculants for the treatment of surface waters containing antibiotic compounds. Three forms …

Hydrophobically-modified chitosan (HC) has emerged as a promising flocculant for trace

Herein, a new salt responsive starch flocculant (SSF) via starch etherification with butyl
glycidyl ether (BGE) and 2-chloro-4, 6-diethylamino-[1, 3, 5]-triazine (CDAT) was reported as …

In this work, carboxylated chitosan modified flocculant (CC-g-PCD) was prepared by graft
copolymerization technique to enhance the charge-attracting and adhesion of bridges and …

Anthropogenic activities lead to the issue of new classes of pollutants in the environment
that are not currently monitored in environmental studies. This category of pollutants (known …

Coexistence of antibiotics and heavy metals is typically detected in water containing both
organic and inorganic contaminants. In this work, a flocculation method using a reusable …

Core-brushes shaped chitosan/Fe 3 O 4 composite particles (CS-MCPs) have been
demonstrated applicable in the removal of pharmaceuticals due to the large amounts of …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals are a group of contaminants that have severe effects on
