Abstract

Chitosan grafted crotonaldehyde (CGC) by nucleophilic addition reaction of the amine group with α,β-unsaturated aldehyde was achieved by simple method using Lewis acid FeCl3.6H2O or ZrOCl2.8H2O as a catalyst. The product has been extensively characterized using FTIR, TGA, SEM, and EDX. The CGC was used for removal of hexavalent chromium from its aqueous solution. Batch experiment was tested using ...
