Green composite aerogel based on citrus peel/chitosan/bentonite for sustainable removal Cu(II) from water matrices

Abstract Here, we propose a green and sustainable 3D porous aerogel based on citrus peel (CP), chitosan (CS), and bentonite (BT). This aerogel is prepared through a simple sol–gel and freeze-drying process and is designed for efficient capture of Cu(II) ions from water matrices. CCBA-2, with its abu...
