Pectin‐based polymer hydrogel as a carrier for release of agricultural nutrients and removal of heavy metals from wastewater

Abstract A pectin‐based hydrogel was used as a remover of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ ions from water and wastewater and in the release of phosphate, potassium, and urea. The swelling studies in either aqueous or saline solutions were analyzed at different pressures, and the prediction of profile of water and s... View More
