13. ⢠Surfactant-modified chitosan (SMCS) beads were successfully prepared.
⢠SMCS beads were able to remove Cd2+ from aqueous solutions.
⢠CdL-SMCS loaded beads (124.86 mg/g) successfully removed MB from aqueous
solution.
⢠Optimized dose= 0.45 g/L.
⢠Contact time= 72 h
⢠Agitation speed= 100 rpm at 30oC
⢠The material (SMCS beads) is broadly suitable for the removal of positively
charged pollutants.
⢠Adsorption followed Freundlich isotherm, which confirms the multilayer adsorption.
⢠Langmuir adsorption capacity obtained was 500.0 mg/g.
⢠Kinetic data complied with pseudo-second order model.
⢠CS beads used successively for the removal of SDS, Cd2+, and MB.
