Electrospun alginate nanofibres as potential bio-sorption agent of heavy metals in water treatment

This paper reports on the potential of electrospun alginate nanofibre membranes to be used for the bio-sorption of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and its blends were electrospun at an applied voltage of 1–1.3 kV/cm and a solution flow rate of 0.8 mL·hr–1. The electro...
