Adsorptive kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamic analysis of fishpond effluent coagulation using chitin derived coagulant from waste Brachyura shell

High grade chitin extracted from Brachyura shell waste was successfully used for adsorptive de-colorization of highly turbid fishpond effluent. Brachyura shell chitin was characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), th...
