We used free radical polymerizing (TiO2 NPS) and sodium alginate (SA) with acrylic acid and acrylamide to make hydrogel nanocomposites. The initiator and crosslinking agents were KPS and MBA, respectively. TEMED was also used. SA-(g)-P(AAc-AAM)/TiO2 nanocomposite is a super absorbent for pollutants. The mixture was used to extract Pb (II) from water. The nanocomposites' structure and morphology were studied using FTIR and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). These rates were used to investigate the kinetics of Pb (II) adsorption. The adsorption kinetics are pseudo-second-order. The hydrogel nanocomposite successfully adsorbs and removes Pb (II).
