Preparation and characterisation of chitosan from <i>Penicillium chrysogenum</i> Thom for decolourisation of Congo red dye in aqueous solution
This work investigated the removal efficiency of Congo red dye (CRD) from aqueous solution using chitosan prepared from the biomass of Penicillium chrysogenum Thom. CRD is a benzidine - based anionic diazo dye known to be carcinogenic at low concentration. Chitosan was prepared from the mycelium of...
