“…14 The adsorption process was found to be one of the effective techniques among several chemical, bacteriological, catalytic, and physical methods that have been successfully employed for the removal of colours from waste water due to its low cost, ease of operation, greater efficiency, and non-generation of toxic materials. 15 Several adsorbents have been tested for their applicability in dye adsorption from effluents, such as activated sludge, 16 alum, 17 coal ash, 18 silicates, 19 acetyl acetone, 20 and graphenebased nanomaterials. 21 The ability of chitosan to remove contaminants from effluents is highly appreciated due to its diverse functionality, including amino and hydroxyl functional groups in the molecule for forming various interactions, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, and van der Waals forces of attraction.…”
