The compound of chitin is the second most important and abundant natural biopolymer in
the world. The main extraction and exploitation sources of this natural polysaccharide …

This paper performed a comparative study on the adsorption of typical antibiotics
(tetracycline and sulfadiazine) and heavy metals (Cu (II) and Zn (II)) onto graphene oxides …

Two new highly-efficient and eco-friendly biosorbents comprised of magnetite, chitosan and
Chlorella vulgaris (MCC) or Arthrospira platensis (MCA) were prepared in such a way to be …

Electrochemical bacteria Shewanella oneidensis MR-4 (MR-4) was used to biologically
generate cadmium sulfide (bio-CdS) nanocrystals and construct a self-assembled intimately …

Microwave–ultrasound-assisted facile synthesis of a dumbbell-and flower-shaped potato
starch phosphate (PSP) polymer, hereafter PSP, was carried out by cross-linking the …

Amine groups can play significant roles in modified chitosans for adsorption of heavy metal
ions. A novel chitosan modified adsorbent (GMCS) grafted with lots of amine groups was …

In this study, synthesis and characterization of chitosan/maghemite (Cs/Fe2O3) composites
thin film has been described. Its properties were characterized using Fourier transform …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel are still restricted for some applications because their
lower mechanical strength and thermal stability. The PVA-based composites are drawing …

Rare earth elements (REE) present multiple applications in technological devices but also
drawbacks (scarcity and water contaminant). The current study aims to valorise the banana …

Simultaneous adsorption of Zn (II) and Hg (II) in the presence of alkaline earth metal, Mg (II)
