In this work was studied the single-component and multi-component abatement of metals in water using a hydrogel based on chitosan. The maximum single-component abatement capacities of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) were 234.84 and 482.83 mg of metal per g of dried hydrogel at pH 6 and 40 °C, according t...
