摘要: Abstract The influence of the degree cross-linking (DCL) on chitosan beads was studied. Chitosan prepared from exoskeleton Cape rock-lobsters, collected surroundings Town, South Africa. were characterized; water contents and p K a varied in range 90–96% 4.3–6.0, respectively, found to decrease with increasing DCL (0.0–34.0%). A pH-model, which described reversibility metal adsorbed onto beads, used predict equilibrium properties copper adsorption cross-linked beads. model accounts for effect pH important parameters, constant ( ads ) lesser extent adsorbent capacity q max showed DCL. determined as 3.8–5.0 mmol/g (9–90) × 10 −4 , respectively. kinetics could be using shrinking core effective diffusion coefficient D eff (8.0–25.8) × 10 −11 m 2 /s.
