Biosorption: current perspectives on concept, definition and application. (2014, background): “An efficient way to introduce binding groups onto the surface of a biosorbent is the grafting of long polymer chains onto the surface of raw biomass (O’Connell et al., 2008).”
Remediation technologies for heavy metal contaminated groundwater. (2011, background): “O’Connell et al. (2008) reviewed a range of modified cellulose materials mainly produced by esterification, etherification, halogenation and oxidation.”
Regeneration of adsorbents and recovery of heavy metals: a review (2015, background): “Metals such as cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) are commonly associated with pollution and toxicity problems (O’Connell et al. 2008).”
Application of magnetic chitosan composites for the removal of toxic metal and dyes from aqueous solutions. (2013, background): “Researchers in the analytical, environmental and material sciences have attempted to develop processes for removing various pollutants and recently, adsorption has become a widely used technology for the removal of both inorganic and organic material [9–11].”
