Synthesis, characterization, and performance of chitosan/nylon 6/polyurethane blend for the removal of chromium (VI) and lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions for enhanced kinetic adsorption studies
Adsorption is vital for the elimination of Cr6+ and Pb2+ ions in the contaminated solution medium. A ternary blend made up of chitosan, nylon 6 and polyurethane foam (CS/Ny 6/PUF) blend in the ratio of 2:1:1 has been investigated. These blends are used as an adsorbent due to the insoluble nature in…
