摘要: Abstract This paper investigates the structural evolution of chitosan–palygorskite (CP) composites in relation to variable mass ratios their individual components. The composite beads’ performance lead (Pb) adsorption from aqueous solution was also examined. beads were prepared through direct dispersion chitosan and palygorskite at 1:1, 1:2 2:1 (CP1, CP2 C2P, respectively). Analyses by Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed dependence composites’ characteristics on composition ratio. exhibited a better Pb than pristine materials (201.5, 154.5, 147.1, 27.7 9.3 mg g −1 for CP1, CP2, palygorskite, Adsorption CP1 followed Freundlich isothermal model, while C2P fitted Langmuir model. Kinetic studies showed that all pseudo-second order model with pore diffusion acting as major rate governing step. properties specific interaction between most critical factors influenced capabilities removing toxic metals water.
