Immobilization of oil and grease in sodium alginate gel as a potential wastewater treatment method

In this study, oil-entrapped sodium alginate beads were developed and their effectiveness in treating oil and grease (O&G) from wastewater was investigated. The effect of polymer concentration and pH on the O&G entrapment efficiency (OEE) as well as the biodegradability of gel beads were inv...
