Abstract
Chitosan (CH)-based biosorbents are by far the most extensively studied material among those suggested for water and wastewater treatment by biosorption. This is due to their ability to remove a wide range of pollutants and simpler ways to synthesize them [19][20][21][22]. CH is a cationic polymer, and its biosorbents can be held together either by physical interactions like hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, Vander Waal's forces, or by chemical crosslinking by covalent bonds [12,[23][24][25][26][27]. ...
