Abstract:Adsorption is effective methods to remove trace organic pollutants in water, and the development of cheap and efficient adsorption materials is essential to the real application of this technique. In this study, chitosan, a natural aminopolysaccharide, was grafted with palmityl chloride using an acylation procedure to improve its hydrophobicity and adsorption capacity to hydrophobic organic contaminants. A hydrophobically-modified chitosan (HMC2) was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy … Show more
