Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a chitin/graphene oxide hybrid composite for the removal of pollutant dyes: Adsorption and desorption study

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of chitin and graphene oxide (Chi:nGO) hybrid gels in mild conditions and their use as biosorbents in solid-liquid batch systems was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of dyes from water using chitosan hydrogel/SiO2 and chitin hydrogel/SiO2 hybrid materials obtained by the sol-gel method.

TL;DR: The main mechanism of dye adsorption was found to be a spontaneous charge associated interaction, except for EB adsor adaptation on chitin/SiO(2) matrix, which showed to involve a lower energy physical adsorptive interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial Activity of Starch Hydrogel Incorporated with Copper Nanoparticles

TL;DR: It is believed that the designed Si-Cu NP loaded hydrogel may show high potential for applications in various clinical fields, such as wound dressings and fillers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilized chitosan as biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: The generation of layer-by-layer silicate-chitosan composite biosorbent demonstrated chitOSan retention and had better sorption capacities than those without it and the use of a coated surface would facilitate sorbent removal from medium after adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chitin hydrogel reinforced with TiO2 nanoparticles as an arsenic sorbent

TL;DR: In this paper, chitin hydrogels were reinforced with TiO 2 nanoparticles acting as fillers, and the mechanical and physicochemical characteristics of these hydrogel were studied by oscillatory rheology, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Small Angle X-ray Spectroscopy(SAXS).
