In Situ Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO/Chitosan Nanocomposite as an Adsorbent for Removal of Congo Red from Aqueous Solution

ZnO/chitosan nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by in-situ precipitation method. The material was characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, BET, and TGA. Results show that ZnO/chitosan nanocomposite has spherical shape with the average size of 20–25 nm. BET surface area and the average pore si...
