Overview

Demonstrates effective heavy metal biosorption in water using shrimp shell-derived chitosan, suggesting a sustainable treatment solution.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of shrimp shell-derived chitosan in adsorbing heavy metals from water.
  • Conversion of shrimp shells into chitosan for biosorption
  • Characterization of chitosan using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX
  • Adsorption tests to optimize parameters like pH and temperature
  • Modeling of adsorption equilibria using the Langmuir model
  • Chitosan had a deacetylation degree of 90.25%, improving metal binding efficiency
  • Best adsorption represented by the Langmuir model indicating monolayer adsorption
  • Kinetic behavior aligned with pseudo-second-order model
  • Effective removal of lead and copper from solutions with high efficiency
