Chitosan is effective at removing molybdate from acidic solutions, especially when it is stabilized by crosslinking treatment. The inΒ―uence of structural and physicochemical properties of chitosan and the glutaraldehyde crosslinking step on molybdate has been studied. This study shows that the maxim

β¦ Synopsis
This study investigates the effect of deacetylation degree and molecular weight of chitosan on molybdate sorption on both raw and glutaraldehyde crosslinked samples. It appears that the physicochemical parameters affect the crystallinity of the samples: a high crystallinity reduces the accessibility of both water and metal ions to the amine binding sites. Both equilibrium and kinetic performances are thus influenced. The crosslinking by glutaraldehyde decreases sorption performances for large size particles while it does not influence sorption for the smallest.
