Bionanomaterial Scaffolds for Effective Removal of Fluoride, Chromium, and Dye

Here we demonstrate, chitosan–sodium alginate based bionanomaterial scaffolds (BMS) with in situ functionalized alumina hydroxide forming scaffold like structure and its application in removal of fluoride (F–), chromium (Cr(VI)), and dye from water. Further, the bionanomaterial scaffold surface was modified with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to enhance the shelf life of the bionanomaterial scaffold (BMS). This Ag NP-coated BMS exhibited as high...
