In this study, Chitosan (Ch)-Vermiculite (V) composite beads material which is a low-cost and naturally effective adsorbent were used for efficient removal of Sunset Yellow FCF (Sy) and Brilliant Blue FCF (Bb) food dyes from aqueous solution. Ch-V composite beads were characterized by using FTIR, SEM, XRD and PZC analysis. The adsorbent properties of Ch-V composite beads for Sy and Bb dyes were evaluated in terms of pH, concentration, kinetic (time) and thermodynamic (temperature) of adsorption. The experimental data presented were obtained from Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity for the Langmuir equation was found to be 0.387 mol kg for Sy and 0.229 mol kg for Bb, respectively. The results showed that the experimental data were better fit the Langmiur model for Sy and the Freundlich model for Bb. Adsorption energies obtained from DR model for Sy and Bb showed that adsorption processes were chemically. The pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion models of adsorption kinetics are in accordance with Sy and Bb. As a result of thermodynamic evaluation of Sy and Bb adsorption, it was found that adsorption processes were endothermic, entropy increased and reaction was spontaneous.

Activated carbon is extensively utilized in blood purification applications. However, its performance has been significantly limited by their poor blood compatibility. In this work, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCN) and activated carbon (AC) were used to form composite beads by the drop curing method to improve hemocompatibility.

Recently, thallium (Tl) contamination at trace levels has gained worldwide attention, particularly in the remote ore-smelting regions of China. To effectively eliminate the residual target Tl(I) ions, one of the best strategies is to develop novel adsorbents with high selectivity. In this study, we selected silicate mineral waste (SMW) and chitosan (CTS) to synthesize a low-cost composite adsorbent for the removal of trace Tl(I).

Effluents containing synthetic anionic dyes can pose a risk to ecosystems, and they must be treated before their release to the environment. Biosorption, a simple and effective process, may be a promising solution for treating these effluents. In this work, chitosan beads were crosslinked with epichlorohydrin to produce a highly stable and performant biosorbent to remove Brilliant Blue FCF dye.

In this study, alginate-based composite beads were developed for the delivery of resveratrol, a compound with therapeutic potential. Two formulations were prepared: one with sodium alginate and resveratrol (AR) and another incorporating graphene nanoplatelets (AGR) to improve drug release control. The beads were formed by exploiting alginate's ability to gel via ionic cross-linking.

The study investigated the enhancement of stability and efficacy in the removal of bivalent nickel ions (Ni(II)) by utilizing a cerium metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) encapsulated within a food-grade algal matrix. This composite material is integrated into a dual-layer hydrogel containing chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose. The enhancement of structural integrity in the final product can be attributed to the cross-linking process with epichlorohydrin, leading to the development of Ce-MOF-FGA/CMC-CS hydrogel beads.
