“…Chitosan (poly-(1-4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-b-dglucose) is the second most abundant natural biopolymer and is produced from N-deacetylation of chitin [1]. The intrinsic characteristics of chitosan, such as its availability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and reactivity, make it a widely used material in the chemical, environmental, pharmaceutical, food, and medical fields [2,3].…”

“…The Gibbs free energy change (∆G) can be calculated as follows [23,24,29]: (11) where T is the absolute temperature (K) and R is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol/K). The changes in enthalpy (∆H) and entropy (∆S) can be obtained according to the van't Hoff equation (Fig.…”

“…Chitosan can be modified easily using chemical or physical methods to prepare chitosan derivatives by attaching new functional groups. These processes may be used to enhance its adsorption capacity or adsorption kinetics, improving the affinity of the sorbent and changing the selectivity of sorption …”
