Surface ion imprinting-mediated carbon nanofiber-grafted highly porous polymeric beads: Synthesis and application towards selective removal of aqueous Pb(II)
Synthesis of CNF-grafted and Pb(II) ion-imprinted porous polymeric beads (∼0.5 mm). Selective adsorption of Pb(II) ions from water using the synthesized materials. Large BET surface area (472 m2/g) and high mesoporosity of the materials. High chemical and thermal stability of the materials with fast adsorption kinetics.
