Obtaining and study of monosaccharide derivatives of low-molecular-weight chitosan

Efficient eco-friendly crude oil adsorptive chitosan derivatives: kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies

“…8b). Smaller values of 1/n indicate the stronger interaction between the adsorbent and crude oil spill [22]. The adsorbents possess high adsorption capacity, and hence it can be employed as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of oil spills.…”

“…Chitosan is a poly-glucosamine biopolymer and N-deacetylated chitin [21,22] derivative though this N-deacetylation is almost never complete [8]. Crustacean's shells, particularly of shrimp, lobster, cuttlefish, squid and crab are the primary commercial sources of chitin,and it is also found in molluscs, fungal cell wall and insects [23,24].…”

Antibacterial activity of quaternary ammonium chitosan containing mono or disaccharide moieties: Preparation and characterization

“…On the other hand, chitosan containing dl-glyceraldehyde, d-ribose, dglucose, d-galactose, d-mannose, and l-fucose were not dissolved in water. Many applications of disaccharide chitosan derivatives, including antibacterial activity [7][8][9][10], antioxidant activity [11], chitosan nanoscaffold [12], adsorption of metal cations [13], and induction of cell aggregated in contact with primary culture of pig chondrocytes [14] have been reported.…”

Recovery of oil from oil-in-water emulsion using biopolymers by adsorptive method

“…Chitin is highly hydrophobic and is insoluble in water and most organic solvents [24]. At neutral and alkaline pH values, chitosan is insoluble, but the salt formation is observed with organic and…”
