Experimental dataset on adsorption of Arsenic from aqueous solution using Chitosan extracted from shrimp waste; optimization by response surface methodology with central composite design

Abstract

The aim of data was to evaluate the efficiency of chitosan extracted from shrimp waste for Arsenic adsorption and optimization by response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD). The data showed that, with increasing contact time, the amount of adsorption increased and the optimal contact time was about 60 min. With increasing pH decreased adsorption, although this reduction was not significant. The optimum pH was obtained at 4.41. The average amount of adsorbent capacity was also about 1.3 mg/g. Overall, chitosan extracted from shrimp waste could be considered as an efficient material for the adsorption of Arsenic from aqueous solution.

Eco-friendly and safe alternatives for the valorization of shrimp farming waste

“…SW and SW-derived products such as chitin and chitosan are used to remove harmful pollutants (Sánchez-Duarte et al 2012 ; Dehghani et al 2018 ; Akhbarizadeh et al 2018 ; Kong et al 2018 ; Yin et al 2019 ). The mechanism involved in removing the pollutants by the SW is adsorption (Fabbricino et al 2013 ).…”

Multifunctional Cross-Linked Shrimp Waste-Derived Chitosan/MgAl-LDH Composite for Removal of As(V) from Wastewater and Antibacterial Activity

“…Therefore, MgAl-LDH can be used as a potent and selective adsorbent for scavenging arsenic in industrial wastewater and drinking water . Since chitosan has very low adsorption capacity toward arsenic, its capacity can be increased by combination with LDHs. The modified chitosan-based materials with LDH have more selectivity toward the pollutants .…”
