Applications and Advantages of Cellulose-Chitosan Biocomposites: Sustainable Alternatives for Reducing Plastic Dependency.

This review presents a comprehensive review of cellulose-chitosan-based biocomposites that have high potential as sustainable alternatives to synthetic polymers. These biocomposites, due to biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial properties, attract attention for wide application in various industries. This review includes modern methods for producing cellulose-chitosan composites aimed at improving their mechanical and chemical properties, such as strength, flexibility, and water resistance.

Adsorption of Bichromate and Arsenate Anions by a Sorbent Based on Bentonite Clay Modified with Polyhydroxocations of Iron and Aluminum by the "Co-Precipitation" Method.

The physicochemical properties of natural bentonite and its sorbents were studied. It has been established the modification of natural bentonites using polyhydroxoxides of iron (III) (mod.1_Fe_5-c) and aluminum (III) (mod.
