Recyclable Magnetic Iron Immobilized onto Chitosan with Bridging Cu Ion for the Enhanced Adsorption of Methyl Orange.

ABSTRACT: Chitosan (CS) is a natural and low-cost adsorbent for capturing metal ions and organic compounds. However, the high solubility of CS in acidic solution would make it difficult to recycle the adsorbent from the liquid phase. In this study, the CS/Fe₃O₄ was prepared via Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles immobilized onto a CS surface, and the DCS/Fe₃O₄-Cu was further fabricated after surface modification and the adsorption of Cu ions. The meticulously tailored material displayed the sub-micron size of an agglomerated structure with numerous magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. During the adsorption of methyl orange (MO), the DCS/Fe₃O₄-Cu delivered a superior removal efficiency of 96.4% at 40 min, which is
