Removal of Toxic Cr(VI) Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Nano-Hydroxyapatite-Based Chitin and Chitosan Hybrid Composites

In the present investigation, bio-inorganic composites composed of nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) with chitin and chitosan have been prepared and used for the removal of chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solution. Such composites exhibited a higher Cr(VI) ion sorption capacity than the individual componen...
