An overview of the versatile polymer materials containing different functional groups at the main or side chain to remove hazardous inorganic species can be found in this paper, where water-insoluble, nanocomposite and water-soluble polymers are used in adsorption and ion exchange processes.
Abstract
This paper is an overview of the versatile polymer materials containing different functional groups at the main or side chain to remove hazardous inorganic species. These materials include water-insoluble, nanocomposite and water-soluble polymers. Water-insoluble polymers and nanocomposites are used in adsorption and ion exchange processes, whereas water-soluble polymers are employed with ultrafiltration membranes in the liquid-phase polymer-based retention technique. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry
