Green Fabrication of Glutaraldehyde-Crosslinked Chitosan/PVA Biocomposite for Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater
Abstract: Chitosan (CS) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are polymers that possess biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic properties, making them suitable for wastewater treatment applications. The primary objective of this research is to chemically modify chitosan in a novel manner to enhance its ability to remove hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. In this study, a composite material was synthesized by crosslinking PVA and CS with glutaraldehyde (GA), resulting in the formation of …

The Impact of Crosslinking Polyvinyl Alcohol with Glutaraldehyde on Toughness: A Statistical Analysis Using the Turnkey HSD Method
Abstract: The widespread use of non-biodegradable polymers exacerbates problems with global warming and other environmental difficulties. These problems necessitate the development of biodegradable polymers as a solution. In this research, we analyze the utilization of crosslinked polymer by its processing of polyvinyl alcohol (P V A) crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (G L U T). After curing for 24 hours in 2 moles of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the plasticized alcohol has been cross-linked …

Novel Poly (Methyl Cellulose-G-Acrylamide)/Sodium Alginate Based Zeolite 4A Filled Mixed Matrix Membranes for The Separation of Water-Isopropyl Alcohol Mixtures by Pervaporation
Abstract: The Filled blend matrix membranes of (Methyl Cellulose-g-Acryl amide)/Sodium Alginate {(MC-g-AAm)/NaAlg} prepared via solution casting method by in situ incorporation with 4A zeolite particles in 5, 10 and 15 mass % with respect to the weight of (MC-g-AAm)/NaAlg membrane. Several analytical tools such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were …
