Preparation of electrospun cellulose acetate/chitosan membranes for efficient sorption of heavy metals from aqueous solutions

Guided by efficient utilization of natural abundant cellulose and chitosan as separation materials, it is desired to tailor the composition of electrospun cellulose acetate/chitosan (CL/CS) membranes to achieve their optimal application in the management of aquatic heavy metal pollution. In this wor...
