Green adsorbents for copper (II) biosorption from waste aqueous solution based on hydrogel-beads of biomaterials

An innovative prototype machine was invented for hydrogel bead production, used for preparing novel hydrogel beads, based on biomaterials, fabricated from chitosan (CS), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and their blend for heavy metal removal from aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity of copper (II) io...
