Adsorption Mechanism of Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Hydrogels in Wastewater Treatment

The potential use of chitosan based exchangers or adsorbents on a large scale have been discovered in wastewater treatment to uproot substantial metal ions and dye removal. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was grafted onto chitosan and chemically cross-linked to produce a hydrogel for the adsorption of lead...
