EDTA-Cross-Linked β-Cyclodextrin: An Environmentally Friendly Bifunctional Adsorbent for Simultaneous Adsorption of Metals and Cationic Dyes
TL;DR: An EDTA-cross-linked β-cyclodextrin (EDTA-β-CD) bifunctional adsorbent is reported, which was fabricated by an easy and green approach through the polycondensation reaction ofβ-cyclodesxtrin with EDTA as a cross-linker, for simultaneous adsorption of metals and dyes.
