Summary: This study demonstrates the enhancement of Cr(VI) uptake performance by supporting chitosan on a porous composite using APTES as a silanizing agent through a simple and green method. Batch and fixed-bed column adsorption experiments show high adsorption capacity and fast equilibrium rate of the silanized composite. In column regeneration, utilizing an alternative desorbing configuration minimizes the eluted volume and improves the behavior of the adsorbent in multiple cycles.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of two polysaccharides, HPS and HPMC, on the setting and rheological behavior of gypsum-based materials. It was found that HPS mainly adsorbed on hemihydrate gypsum particles and could act as a thickener and setting accelerator within a certain dosage range, while HPMC dispersed in interstitial solutions and viscosified them, also acting as a thickener and setting accelerator in all dosages range.

Summary: Agaraldehyde and chitosan functional beads were prepared as dye adsorbent for removing seven dyes from aqueous solutions, with a focus on amido black dye. The bio-beads showed encouraging adsorption efficiency and followed both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, while adhering to pseudo-second-order kinetics for dye removal. This study highlighted the potential of R-A(ald)-CHI as an effective adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater.
