What is it about?

The objective of this study was to synthesize the chitosan/marble powder composites and analyze their adsorptive effectiveness in the removal of Dimozol Blue from aqueous solutions as potential low-cost, high performance adsorbents.

Why is it important?

Immobilizing chitosan on a low-cost material is an effective modification method to provide enhanced mechanical, thermal or adsorption properties compared with any of its components used alone. Marble powder is a waste material produced in the millions of tons each year around the world.The reuse of waste marble powder as an adsorbent will provide an opportunity to obtain environmental and economic gains. it is observed that there is no report on the utilization of chitosan/marble powder composite as an adsorbent specifically for the removal of the dye molecules. The objective of this study was to synthesize the chitosan/ marble powder composites and analyze their adsorptive effectiveness in the removal of Dimozol Blue from aqueous solutions as potential low-cost, high performance adsorbents.
