Synthesis of interpenetrating network hydrogel from poly(acrylic acid-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and sodium alginate: Modeling and kinetics study for removal of synthetic dyes from water

Fast dye removal from water by starch-based nanocomposites

“…Finally, from the Langmuir isotherm is possible to predict if the adsorption of MB in the adsorbent synthesized in this work were favorable or not. For this, a separation factor (R L ) can be calculated using the following equation [55]:…”

Synthesis, characterization, swelling and drug release behavior of semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels of sodium alginate and polyacrylamide

“…Synthesis of SIPN is an 26 effective way of making 'alloy' of multi functional crosslinked polymers which show 27 much better properties than its constituent polymers (Myung et al, 2008). In recent years 28 SIPN type hydrogels have been widely used for several applications including adsorption 29 of metal ions (Horia et al, 2008) , dyes (Mandal & Ray, 2013), artificial implants , 30 dialysis membrane, controlled drug release system ( In controlled drug release system a drug is delivered to the target site in a manner 33 that maximizes its efficacy, minimizes the potential negative effects associated with 34 overdosages, and/or extends the release time in which sufficient dosages are delivered. 35…”

Evaluation of a pH-responsive guar gum-based hydrogel as adsorbent for cationic dyes: kinetic and modelling study

“…Because of their excellent hydrophilic properties, high swelling capacity and biocompatibility, they have been widely used for agricultural, biomedical and industrial applications [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Removal of toxic aromatic functionalized compounds is an important issue of environmental protection [9,10]. Recently, numerous approaches have been used for the development of cheaper and more effective adsorbents containing natural polymers.…”
