This work concerns the investigation of potential candidature of cellulose and chitosan–
based nano–sized materials for heavy metals and dyes removal. Cellulose and chitosan …

Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from waters,
especially those that are not easily biodegradable. Dyes represent one of the problematic …

Application of chitinous products in wastewater treatment has received considerable
attention in recent years in the literature. In particular, the development of chitosan-based …

The adsorption of Congo Red by coir pith carbon was carried out by varying the parameters
such as agitation time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature. Equilibrium …

Recently, much attention has been paid to chitosan as a potential polysaccharide resource.
Although several efforts have been reported to prepare functional derivatives of chitosan by …

Activated carbons, prepared from low-cost mahogany sawdust and rice husk have been
utilized as the adsorbents for the removal of acid dyes from aqueous solution. An acid dye …

Chitin is the world's second most abundant naturally occurring polysaccharide. Much of this
is disposed of as waste from seafood crustacean, mainly in shrimps, prawns, crabs, and …

The use of low-cost and ecofriendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal
alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. Orange …
