Evaluation of Glass Beads Coated with Chitosan for the Adsorption of Copper(II) Ions from Aqueous Solution
Chitosan, a natural polymer obtained from the de-acetylation of chitin, has been extensively studied in adsorption applications because its amino and hydroxyl groups can act as chelation sites. However, this material is rarely used as an adsorbent, mainly because of mechanical strength limitations....
