Abstract
The adsorption of five acid dyes onto chitosan, derived through the deacetylation of crabโshell chitin, from aqueous solutions was studied. The equilibrium isotherms were measured and analyzed with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and RedlichโPeterson equations; the results correlated well with the Langmuir equation. Kinetic studies were also performed in an agitated batch adsorber to study the effect of the initial dye concentration and the mass of chitosan. The kinetics were analyzed with the pseudoโfirstโorder rate equation, and the rate constants were determined. The firstโorder kinetic model correlated the experimental concentration and time data at short times and even up to 60% of the total adsorption period in a number of systems. ยฉ 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Isoelectric focusing is a new method of separation in which amphoteric substances, in particular proteins, can be separated in a stable pH gradient owing to the differences in their isoelectric points. The method is extremely efficient and permits separation of proteins whose isoelectric points diff
Chitosan gel beads were prepared using an in-liquid curing method by the ionotropic crosslinking with sodium tripolyphosphate. Crosslinking characteristics of the chitosan-TPP beads were improved by the modification of in-liquid curing mechanism of the beads in TPP solution. Chitosan gel beads cured
