Removal of heavy metals by chitin: equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

Abstract Adsorption is one of the most commonly used methods for the wastewaters treatment. In this work, we studied the impact of experimental conditions on the adsorption of heavy metals M(II) (M = Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb and Zn) in batch system using chitin obtained from crab shells. This biomaterial is s...
