Preparation and Characterization of Montmorillonite Modified Chitosan Nano-composites for Zinc Metal Removal

Nano-composites adsorbent based on chitosan (CTS), the second largest abundant natural polymer in nature that contains high hydroxyl and amine groups has received significant interest in adsorption application especially on heavy metals. Raw montmorillonite (MMT) was purified and modified to form...
