However many of the reported functionalized polymers have complex synthesis procedure and cost ineffective. Therefore development of low cost functional polymer with easy synthesis procudere, moderate to high metal removal, rapid adsorption kinetics and reusability is necessary...enCIVIL ENGINEERINGThesis
