Summary: Water contamination is a growing global issue, and current methods for water and wastewater treatment are limited, especially in terms of difficult regeneration of fossil-fuel derived nano-adsorbents. Advanced methods using sustainable materials like chitosan are needed. Chitosan, a biopolymer extracted from shellfish, is non-toxic, abundant, and chemically stable. It can be shaped into various forms for wastewater treatment. In this review, we focus on chitosan-based beads and their applications in wastewater treatment, including adsorption mechanisms, pollutant removal, functionalization, and regeneration. Notably, chitosan/Fe-hydroxyapatite beads have high adsorption capacity for lead removal, while imprinted magnetic chitosan beads show good reusability for nickel removal.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
