Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics of Cadmium (II) biosorption on to composite chitosan biosorbent

A composite chitosan biosorbent (CCB) was prepared by coating chitosan onto ceramic alumina. The uptake capacity of CCB for Cadmium (II) was studied under equilibrium conditions in the temperature range 298–318 K. The sorbent was characterized by high temperature, pyrolysis, porosimetry, FTIR, SEM,...
