Development of Recycled Expanded Polystyrene Nanofibers Modified by Chitosan for the Removal of Lead(II) from Water

Water contamination by potentially toxic metals and the generation of polymeric wastes are major world concerns. Therefore, novel recycled expanded polystyrene nanofibers modified by chitosan were successfully developed by centrifugal spinning and applied as adsorbents on the removal of lead(II) fro...
