Tosyl-carrageenan/alginate composite adsorbent for removal of Pb ions from aqueous solutions.

The current study effectively designed novel cross-linked tosyl-carrageenan/alginate (Ts-Car/Alg) beads to remove Pb ions from their aqueous solutions. To confirm the structure of the produced matrix, characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, and EDX were used. Batch experiments were employed in order to further evaluate the adsorption efficiency of Pb ions.

Preparation and performance of bionanocomposites based on grafted chitosan, GO and TiO-NPs for removal of lead ions and basic-red 46.

Wastewater rich in heavy metals and organic compounds represents one of the essential environmental pollutants. Therefore, a practical approach is to fabricate eco-friendly polymer-based systems with a high ability to absorb pollutants. Herein, bionanocomposites consisting of chitosan (Cs) grafted by various monomers, such as acrylamide (Am), acrylic acid (AA), and 4-styrene sulfonic acid (SSA), and hybrid nanoparticles of graphene oxide/titanium dioxide nanoparticles (GO@TiO-NPs) were fabricated.

Preparation of Isopropyl Acrylamide Grafted Chitosan and Carbon Bionanocomposites for Adsorption of Lead Ion and Methylene Blue.

Wastewater, which is rich with heavy elements, dyes, and pesticides, represents one of the most important environmental pollutants. Thus, it has been significant to fabricate environmentally friendly polymers with high adsorption ability for those pollutants. Herein, crosslinked chitosan (C-Cs) was prepared using isopropyl acrylamide and methylene bisacrylamide.

Grafted TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber embedded with modified magnetite for effective adsorption of lead ions.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly a billion people do not have incoming to pure drinking water and much of that water is contaminated with high levels of heavy elements. In this study, adsorption of lead ions has been studied by nanocomposites which prepared through acrylic acid grafting and amino-functionalized magnetized (FM-NPs) TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TEMPO-CNF). The amino-functionalized magnetite was acting as a crosslinked.

Biodegradable grafting cellulose/clay composites for metal ions removal.

Biodegradable bi-functional cellulose derivatives were synthesized to remove widespread underground water cations such as; Ca, Mg, Fe, Pb, and Cu. Firstly, graft copolymerization of cellulose with binary monomers such as acrylic acid (AA), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) with acrylamide (Am) were achieved using potassium persulfate as initiator. Then, cellulose/clay composites were prepared by graft copolymerization of cellulose using different montmorillonite concentrations such as 3, 6 and 9% weight/cellulose weight.
