Application of chitosan and its derivatives as adsorbents for dye removal from water and wastewater: A review

Adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution using untreated and treated (Metroxylon spp.) waste adsorbent: equilibrium and kinetics studies

“…The reported results showed that most of these readily available bioadsorbents possess high efficiency in removing dyes from aqueous solutions [16,19]. These lignocellulosic byproducts possess various advantages, such as being ecofriendly, renewable, less expensive and abundantly available, as compared to commercial adsorbents [18,20].…”

“…Recently, a large number of low-cost adsorbents have been utilized to develop cheaper and effective adsorbents to remove dyes from wastewater, including cucumber peels [11], meranti sawdust [12], bagasse [13], durian leaf powder [14], watermelon seed hulls [11], grape pulp [15], chitosan [16,17], kenaf core fibers [18], etc. The reported results showed that most of these readily available bioadsorbents possess high efficiency in removing dyes from aqueous solutions [16,19].…”

Evaluation of the Potential of Cadmium and Dyes Removal by Chitosan Obtained from Zygomycetes

“…It is nontoxic, biodegradable, and renewable natural sources obtained whose properties have been exploited in industrial applications and technology there is nearly seventy extracted from the shell of arthropods and the cell walls of micro-organisms. These two native or chemically modified polymers occupy a wide area of application in various industries, in medical technology and also due to the significant physical and chemical characteristics suitable as biodegradability, biocompatibility, antimicrobial action, among other applications [11][12][13][14].…”

Optimization of Sorption Parameters for Color Removal of Textile Dye by Cross-linked Chitosan Beads Using Box-Behnken Design

“…Therefore it posed a serious environmental problem and direct destruction to the aquatic system when discharged into water stream [2,3]. Among the various treatments of effluents that contain dyes, the adsorption method is the best alternative and has been widely used to remove pollutants from effluents [4] because of its high performance, flexibility and simplicity of design, convenience of operation, and selectivity [5]. Adsorption also does not result in formation of harmful by-products [6].…”
