Design of chitosan and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seed shell composite adsorbent for reactive orange 16 dye removal: multivariable optimization and dye adsorption mechanism study

Herein, chitosan (CS) and watermelon seed shell (WSS) were blended to yield a new biocomposite (CS/WSS) via sonication with an ultrasonic bath of 40 kHz for 25 min at 20 W. Thus, CS/WSS adsorbent was applied for the removal of reactive orange 16 dye (RO16) from the aqueous environment. The CS/WSS ch...
