Fabrication of glutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan/algae biomaterial via hydrothermal process: Statistical optimization and adsorption mechanism for MV 2B dye removal
A cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde/algae (CHS-GTD/AL) composite was synthesized through a two-step process. Firstly, the natural biopolymer chitosan (CHS) was functionalized with algae (AL), introducing additional functional groups to the pristine chitosan. Then, a cross-linking process was carr...
