Article Synopsis
- A new composite material called titanium-ferrocyanide/chitosan melamine sponge (TFCM) has been developed to efficiently remove cesium (Cs) from radioactive wastewater.
- TFCM shows excellent adsorption capabilities across a wide pH range (3-11) and maintains high selectivity for Cs, even in the presence of other cations like K, Na, and Ca.
- The material can easily be separated from water, demonstrates consistent performance over multiple cycles, and can reduce Cs concentration from 20 mg/L to 10 μg/L, making it a promising solution for wastewater treatment.
Nowadays, highly toxic antimony has severely posed threat to water sources and jeopardized human health. Fabricating adsorbents with the capability of easy separation, high efficiency and large adsorption capacity remains a major challenge. In this paper, zirconium functionalized chitosan melamine foam (ZCMF) was fabricated with zirconium and chitosan crosslinked onto melamine foam, then utilized for the removal of antimony(III/V) in water.

In this paper, the melamine sponge with high porosity and convenient separation was selected as matrix material, and alginate/carboxymethyl cellulose-melamine sponge composite (SA/CMC-MeS) was prepared through crosslinking strategy. Not only does the composite cleverly combined the merits of alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose, it also enhanced the adsorption performance for methylene blue (MB).
