Crosslinking of Chitosan with a Trifunctional Crosslinker and the Adsorption of Acid Dyes and Metal Ions onto the Resulting Polymer

Novel chitosan-based adsorbent materials were synthesized using a trifunctional reagent as a crosslinker and the adsorption capability of the resulting polymers towards two acid dyes and several metal ions was evaluated. The crosslinked chitosan with the lowest degree of substitution showed a very h...
