Removal of Pb(ii) and Cd(ii) from wastewater using arginine cross-linked chitosan–carboxymethyl cellulose beads as green adsorbent

A one pot approach has been explored to synthesize crosslinked beads from chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CM) using arginine (ag) as a crosslinker. The synthesized beads were characterized by FTIR, SEM, EDX, XRD, TGA and XPS analysis. The results showed that CS and CM were crosslinked suc... View More
