Herein, chitosan and melamine not only introduced abundant functional groups to increase adsorbing sites for lead ions, but also reinforced the three-dimensional network skeleton structure of absorbents to improve the service life in adsorption applications. As-fabricated alginate/melamine/chitosan aerogel can extract Pb (II)from aqueous solution efficiently, i.e., the optimum adsorption quantity of 1331.6mg/g at pH 5.5, which exhibited excellent and selective adsorption capacity for Pb (II)against the competition of coexisting divalent metal ions. More importantly, alginate/melamine/chitosan aerogel could be regenerated using dilute acidic solution and recovered well after eight adsorption-desorption cycles. This work might offer a new idea for design and preparation of biomass-based aerogel sorbents with promising prospect in the remediation of Pb (II)-contaminated wastewater UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DYe62CP5UFuMLMkLXwKUIXrM8mJAndbd/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
