Introduction: Water pollution is a serious issue in several countries. In addition, because of limited water resources, the recycling of wastewater is crucial. Consequently, new and effective sorbents are required to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment as well as to mitigate the health problems caused by water pollution. Methods: In this study, the removal of Methyl Orange (MO) dye from wastewater using a chitosan-iso-vanillin polymer was evaluated. The removal of MO from an aqueous solution was studied in a batch system, using the modified chitosan polymer. Results: The results indicate that the removal of MO by the modified chitosan was affected by the solution pH, sorbent dosage, initial MO concentration, contact time, and temperature. The experimental data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms, and Freundlich isotherm showed the best fit. The kinetic data were fitted to the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate equations. Thus, the removal of MO was controlled via chemisorption, and the removal rate was 97.9% after 3 h at an initial MO concentration of 100 ppm and a sorbent dose of 0.05 g. The adsorption behavior of the modified chitosan for the removal of MO was well-described using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Intraparticle diffusion analysis was also conducted, and the thermodynamic properties, including entropy (∆S), enthalpy (∆H), and free energy (∆G), were determined. Conclusion: The pH, initial MO concentration, sorbent dosage, adsorption temperature, and contact time had a significant effect on the adsorption of MO by chitosan-iso-vanillin.

Some factories and industries are responsible for producing the most dangerous, most highly soluble, and risky poisonous metal ions like Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, As, Pb, and Zn as a result of getting rid of large amounts of metal-contaminated wastewater. All these toxic metals could be absorbed by living organisms. A large amount of these metals could be accumulated in the human body through the food chain. As these metals are being digested in the body, they might cause some health problems and disorders [1]. It has been found that as a challenging case, there is a low amount of poisonous metal ions in the liquid solutions. Furthermore, it has been stated that the method of metal ion separation from wastewater is a complicated process by pH, competing ions,
