Polyphenol rich green tea waste hydrogel for removal of copper and chromium ions from aqueous solution

In this study, green tea waste (GTW) was used to synthesize the iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (IO@GTW) to facilitate the adsorption of heavy metals from wastewaters. To satisfy structural integrity needs, the synthesized IO@GTW was incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/alginate polymer network...
