Chitosan–Silica Composite Aerogel for the Adsorption of Cupric Ions

Chitosan–Silica Composite Aerogel for the Adsorption of Cupric Ions

A chitosan–silica hybrid aerogel was synthesized and presented as a potential adsorbent for the purification of cupric ion-contaminated media. The combination of the organic polymer (chitosan), which can be obtained from fishery wastes, with silica produced a mostly macroporous material with an aver...
