Abstract:This work presents the development of poly(sodium) acrylate (PSA)-based nanocomposite cryogels for the effective purification of multicomponent oily wastewater and the simultaneous indication of the presence of heavy metal ions, through gravity-driven filtration. Detailed studies prove that the purification process is mainly attributed to PSA which presents underwater superoleophobicity, necessary for water−oil separation, and contains the appropriate functional groups for the effective adsorption of the methy… Show more
