Abstract: This research involved the synthesizing of a reactive polymer, long alkyl quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP), and coating it onto the surface of silica gel to produce a granular sorbent to remove Cr(VI) from water. ...

Abstract: A reactive polymer, alkyl quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) was synthesized and coated on the surface of silica gel to test its ability to remove Cr(VI) from water. Batch experiments were conducted with the coated ...
