Preparation of chitosan from the shrimp shells and its application for pre-concentration of uranium after cross-linking with epichlorohydrin

Chitosan (CTS) was first prepared by proper treatment of shrimp shells and the cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) was then synthesized by its reaction with epichlorohydrin (ECH) under alkaline conditions. Adsorption of uranium from aqueous nitrate solution onto CCTS was investigated batch wise. The adsorp...
