Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical
processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to …

Chitin, the second most important natural polymer in the world, and its N-deacetylated
derivative chitosan, have been identified as versatile biopolymers for a broad range of …

Phosphoryl functionalized mesoporous silica (TBP-SBA-15) was synthesized by modified
mesoporous silica with γ-amino propyl triethoxy silane and tributyl phosphate. The obtained …

aminopyridine functionalized magnetic core–shell Fe 3 O 4@ polypyrrole structure (Fe 3 O
4@ PPy-AP composite) is fabricated to remove Mn (VII) from water. The adsorbent fully …

Chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CTPP) beads were prepared using in-liquid curing method and
used for the adsorption of uranium from aqueous solution. Beads were prepared at two …

Uranium is known for its toxicity and has been a nuclear hazard. Its radioactive nature has
made it a cause of lung and bone cancer. The uranium content in water bodies in several …

Isolated mollusk shells and crustacean exoskeletons adsorb from waters almost twice their
weight of Pb in a few minutes. Likewise, the chitin-based sorbents of animal and fungal …

The photocatalytic degradation of uranium complexes is considered among the most
efficient techniques for the efficient removal of uranium ions/complexes from radioactive …

In this work the natural and the surfactant modified diatomite has been tested for ability to
remove uranium ions from aqueous solutions. Such controlling factors of the adsorption …

The porous chitosan/carboxylated carbon nanotubes composite aerogels (CS-CCN) with
different CCN contents were prepared for the efficient removal of U (VI) from aqueous …
