Comprehensive batch and continuous methyl orange removal studies using surfactant modified chitosan-clinoptilolite composite

In the present study, the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) onto surfactant modified chitosan clinoptilolite composite (SMCSCL) from aqueous solution was investigated in batch and continuous adsorption systems. The characterization techniques of FTIR, FE-SEM, XRD, TGA and N2 adsorption–desorption were evaluated to find the functional group, morphology, crystalline structure, thermogravimetry and surface area of SMCSCL. The effect of process...
