Synthesis of Fe³⁺/Ce³⁺-doped poly(para-phenylenediamine) adsorbents and their application in the removal of fluorides, arsenites and pathogens from water

Abstract

This study describes the removal mechanisms of fluoride, arsenites, and pathogens from water using conjugated polymeric adsorbent synthesized from the chemical co-polymerization of Fe3+ and Ce3+ incorporated into a poly(paraphenylenediamine) matrix.
