The design of novel cryogels containing N‐methyl‐D‐glucamine (NMG) group was herein reported. The macroporous materials were prepared via sustainable and feasible cryopolymerization by using as co-monomers (4‐vinyl-benzyl)‐N‐methyl‐D‐glucamine (VbNMG) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) at different percentages. Particularly, cryogel containing 100% of VbNMG (VbNMG-100) showed excellent ability in fast water uptake, removing arsenic (V) and chromium (VI) metal ions from it. Reusability up to six cycles was also demonstrated. The as-prepared materials were characterized by spectroscopic, thermal, and morphological analyses. The effect of initial oxyanions concentration, kinetic profiles, interfering anions (phosphate and sulphate) were investigated and adsorption/desorption studies were carried out. Equilibrium sorption results well fitted the Langmuir isotherm for both ions tested …
