Seaweed Superheroes, July 05, 2024

The paper entitled "Seaweed Superheroes: Cystoseira barbata-Incorporated Electrospun Fibers for Lead Ion Sequestration" has been published in ACS Applied Bio Materials.  Efficient lead ion removal is essential in tackling water pollution. Our groundbreaking study introduces electrospun C. barbata/PAN fibers, which are highly effective at removing lead (II) ions from water. With superior surface area and pore characteristics, these innovative fibers demonstrate remarkable sorption efficiency. We explored factors like shaking time, algae percentage, and pH to optimize performance.
