Abstract:Textile waste consists of insoluble solid particles, salts, dyes and heavy metals and is very difficult to degrade. Chitin derived from shrimp waste has the potential to overcome textile waste in chitin that causes environmental pollution through more economical absorption and easily available raw materials. Factors that improve adsorption performance include pH and temperature. This study was conducted to determine the effect of temperature, pH, and a combination of temperature and pH treatments on the abilit… Show more
