| Description | Through epistemic efforts in water remediation, numerous sorbents have emerged as either low-cost or more expensive. This review article describes the properties, functions and modifications of cost-effective sorbents based on chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) blends for aqueous solutions treatment from heavy metals. Interesting synthesis routes have been reported for the production of membranes, beads, foams and mats, while the kinetic and thermodynamic studies provide spherical knowledge of the system. Tables with the adsorbent’s capacity and enthalpy change are included, while indicative images from the synthesis and characterization techniques of the adsorbents are presented. |
