Chitosan: A Natural Biopolymer for the Adsorption of Residue Oil from Oily Wastewater
Chitosan, poly-β-(1,4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-Đ-glucose ( N- deacetylated) was used as an adsorbent to adsorb the excess oil from oily wastewater. Chitosan is a biodegradable cationic biopolymer achieved by the extensive deacetylation of chitin obtained from prawn shell waste. Palm oil mill effluent (P...
