Abstract Glucan/chitosan (GL/CS) hydrogels as adsorbents for heavy metal ions in
wastewater treatment were synthesized by ultrasound-assisted free radical polymerization …

The adsorption capacity of pine tree leaves for removal of methylene blue (MB) from
aqueous solution was investigated in a batch system. The effects of the process variables …

The citric acid modified wheat straw (MWS) was characterized and the adsorption properties
of copper ion and methylene blue (MB) onto MWS were investigated in single adsorbate …

Low cost activated carbon was prepared from Polygonum orientale Linn by phosphoric acid
activation. Its ability to remove the basic dyes, malachite green (MG) and rhodamine B (RB) …

In the present study, cashew nut shell (CNS) was investigated as a biosorbent for the
removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were carried out to …

Peanut hull, an agricultural by-product abundant in China, was used as adsorbent for the
removal of Cu (II) from aqueous solutions. The extent of adsorption was investigated as a …

The adsorbent modified from corn stalks was synthesized after the reaction between
epichlorohydrin and triethylamine by using diethylenetriamine (DETA) as modifying agent in …

In practical application, the adsorption capacity, adsorption kinetics, recycling and
production cost of adsorbent affect the application of adsorbent. In this study, porous …
