Adsorption of Metallic Ions on Amidoxime-Chitosan/Cellulose Hydrogels

Adsorption using natural compounds is an attractive separation technique for recovering heavy metals from aqueous media. Although chitosan, which is a natural polysaccharide, is an environmentally benign adsorbent, it dissolves in an acidic aqueous medium. In this study, we prepared adsorbents consi...
