The prevalence of dyes in aquatic environments raises severe concerns on a global scale. Methyl orange (MO) is a typical anionic organic dye, which is widely used in industrial wastewater such as textile and paper making. Then the treatment of water contaminated with dyes is an important aspect. The recent decade has witnessed adsorption technology emerging as an advanced dye wastewater treatment with great potential and a grand blueprint, in which the specific surface area and active sites of the adsorbent are considered to be the two most important characteristics largely impacting the adsorption performance. In this study, chitosan-treated nanocomposite was prepared as an effective adsorbent for the removal of MO from contaminated water. The dye removal parameter was performed according to the solution acidity, reaction time, initial concentration, competing for ion affinity, maximum adsorption …
