Method of adsorbing dye in aqueous solution by chemical cross-linked chitosan beads

摘要

The present invention provides a method of adsorbing dye by cross-linked chitosan beads comprising the steps of providing chitosan and dissolving the chitosan to form a chitosan solution, mixing the chitosan solution with a tripolyphosphate (TPP) solution to form ionic cross-linked chitosan beads, cross-linking the ionic cross-linked beads to form the cross-linked chitosan beads by adding NaOH and cross-linking agent and shaking for about a first period at temperature about 25-55 centigrade; and adding the cross-linked chitosan beads in dye solution to adsorb the dye. The cross-linked chitosan beads is used in acid or neutral solution to adsorb reactive type dye, acid type dye or direct type dye.
