A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from
graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after …

This work aimed at developing a natural compound-based hydrogel adsorbent to remove
diclofenac as a model pharmaceutical from water. First, graphene oxide–chitosan (GO–CTS) …

Natural polymers such as chitosan, chitin, cellulose, alginate, pectin, and lignin produced by
renewable organic resources are regarded as greener, sustainable, and eco-friendly …

A facile approach to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was investigated using three
different extract concentrations of Tecoma stans leaves as reducing/capping agents. The …

In addition to catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing, metal oxides can also be used as an
adsorbent for wastewater treatment applications. In some of the cases, they need to be …

Graphene oxide is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial and has gained huge popularity
over the last decade. Because, the graphene oxide can be dispersed in water easily and it is …

Heavy metals, known for their toxic nature and ability to accumulate and magnify in the food
chain, are a major environmental concern. The use of environmentally friendly adsorbents …
