dc.description.abstractInefficiently treated wastewater, which contains a high concentration of pollutants, is hazardous when it is mixed with the clean water of rivers and lakes. Nitrate in particular is a major global problem that leads to eutrophication and poses a threat to both aquatic ecosystems and human health. To address this issue, this work assessed the efficiency of polymeric cryogel (PC) and biopolymer (EPS)-blended composites (EPS@PC) in removing nitrates. Tests were also conducted to quantify the decrease in phosphate, chloride ions, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in real water samples taken from the Ankara stream, which receives effluents from both urban (UWTP) and industrial (IWTP) wastewater treatment plants. Five different columns with varying adsorptive properties were prepared, some of which were combined with iron. The EPS-@PC-C5 column demonstrated the highest adsorption ratio for nitrate removal compared to the other tested columns. The EPS@PC-C5 achieved a high removal efficiency of 126.38 mg nitrate/g and showed COD reduction ranging from 60.2 to 94.1%. The removal ratio of chloride concentration varied between 56.0 and 75.7%, while the removal of phosphates ranged from 87 to 99%. Columns composed of EPS (EPS@PC) with both negatively and positively charged ligands are dependable and suitable options for water remediation.
