Article Abstract
In this study, sodium alginate was employed as a starting material for preparing two kinds of biocompatible adsorbents, including calcium alginate hydrogel beads and magnetic hydrogel beads. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern, and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray techniques were used to characterize the prepared adsorbents. The performance of the prepared adsorbents for the removal of methyl violet from aqueous solution was studied in detail. Both kinetics and equilibrium aspects of methyl violet adsorption were investigated, and the obtained equilibrium and kinetics data were described with various adsorption models. The effects of initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature on adsorption performance were investigated. Thermodynamic parameters of adsorption were obtained as well.

The efficient and sustainable remediation of contaminated water calls for catalytic systems that must clean broadly, endure widely, and last repeatedly. In this regard, we report the development of sulfonate-functionalized core-shell hydrogel beads embedded with synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that exhibit intrinsic oxidase-like activity without requiring external light or chemical oxidants. The sulfonate ligands modulate the surface electronic environment of the AuNPs, facilitating singlet oxygen generation via a nonplasmonic, radiationless mechanism.

The aim of this study was to examine the potential antioxidant activity of curcumin in therapeutic and preventive condition and its potential role as adjuvant to conventional drug methotrexate in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study included 104 female Wistar albino rats, 6 weeks old, body weight of 200-250 g, which were divided into 8 groups (n=13 in each group): 1. CTRL: negative control, 2.

Introduction: We report a reproducible and sustainable catalytic system based on copper ion-crosslinked alginate hydrogels for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via aqueous 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition at room temperature. The catalyst, derived from a biodegradable matrix, is prepared through a simple, energy-efficient method and operates under mild, eco-friendly conditions.
Methods: Copper(II)-alginate hydrogels were prepared by ionic crosslinking.

A metal-ion-free method was developed to prepare κ-carrageenan/cellulose hydrogel beads for efficient cationic dye removal. The beads were fabricated using a mixture of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent system, followed by aqueous ethanol-induced phase separation. This process eliminated the need for metal-ion crosslinkers, which typically neutralize anionic sulfate groups in κ-carrageenan, thereby preserving a high density of accessible binding sites.

This study was designed to develop a chemically modified chitosan-based sustainable adsorption system for soluble metal pollutants. Here, chitosan hydrogel beads modified with sulphate-sulphuric acid presented a high adsorption capacity toward copper ions and higher reusability due to enhanced low pH tolerance. Though the adsorption process was independent of incubation temperature, it varied with the pH of solution.
