A response surface modelling study for sorption of Cu, Ni, Zn and Cd using chemically modified poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone--methylacrylate) hydrogels

In this present study, response surface methodology was applied for the optimization and evaluation of different heavy-metal sorption processes. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone- co -methylacrylate) hydrogels were used as pH-responsive adsorbents to investigate their efficiency in th...
