Environmentally friendly fabrication of new β-Cyclodextrin/ZrO2 nanocomposite for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and BPA from water

Heavy metals and endocrine disrupters often co-exist in wastewater, while their possible competition behaviours make uptake removal more challenging. Therefore, β-Cyclodextrin based nanocomposite adsorbent was successfully fabricated (β-Cyclodextrin/ZrO2) for the simultaneous uptake of Pb(II) and Bisphenol A from wastewater. FTIR, XRD, and XPS confirmed the successful fabrication of the β-Cyclodextrin/ZrO2 nanocomposite. In this setting,...
