It was demonstrated that hydrogel networks can be used effectively as catalysis media in the reduction of some organic toxic materials. The results verified that iron particles containing p(AMPS) hydrogel networks yield faster conversion rates. Additionally, iron nanoparticles containing p(AMPS) hydrogel networks could catalyze the reaction, giving 32% yield without any added cocatalyst, providing self cocatalyst mission.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscatalysishydrogelnanocompositenanoreactorremediationtreatmentUtilization of Environmentally Benign Hydrogels and Their Networks as Reactor Media in the Catalytic Reduction of NitrophenolsArticle60216317310.1080/00914037.2010.504168Q3WOS:0002859270000042-s2.0-78651069669Q1
