In the present study, glutaraldehyde was used as a hydrophobic modifier to crosslink polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA), and copper ion was immobilized by sodium alginate (SA). Polyvinyl alcohol…

Tetracycline (TC) is a commonly used human and veterinary antibiotic that is mostly discharged
into wastewater in the form of the parent compounds. At present, wastewater treatment …

Recently, there has been an increasing use of forward osmosis (FO) technique for energy-efficient
water treatment, leading to significant public concerns. One key know-how to make …

Currently, there is a growing trend in employing natural biomaterials (eg, alginate) to prepare
a novel bead adsorbent for phosphorus (P) elimination. However, the utilization of alginate …

Magnetic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate) (denoted
as Fe3O4@P(NIPAM-co-AMPS)) nanogels were prepared based on strong ionic …

This work dealt with a potential and effective method to reuse modified alginate beads after
the removal of Cu(II) ions for efficient adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions. …

We explore the feasibility of utilizing electro-responsive hydrogels as novel forward osmosis
(FO) draw agents for desalination. The chemically cross-linked hydrogels were synthesized …

The aim of this work is to examine the adsorption performance and mechanism of phosphorus
(P) onto polyethyene polyamine (PEPA) grafted chitosan-zirconium(IV) composite beads (…

This paper reports the preparation of calcium alginate gels-functionalized PUF decorated
with AgNPs (CA/PUF@Ag) by in situ reduction of Ag + ions to form AgNPs with weakly …

The proper management of phosphorus (P) from wastewater is crucial for sustainable
development consideration. Herein, we developed a strategy which combines adsorption via …
