Phosphate Adsorption onto Chitosan-Based Hydrogel Microspheres

Phosphate discharges are closely linked to eutrophication, algal and cyanobacterial blooms in natural water bodies. Chitosan hydrogel microspheres (CHMs) were used as an adsorbent to remove phosphate (PO 4 3– ) from aqueous solution. The CHMs were prepared by a sequential methodology consisting of s...
