Preparation and characterization of chitosan clay beads for water adsorption

Abstract The microstructure of beads composed of 50 mass% α-chitosan and either montmorillonite, a clay minerals mixture (illite, pyrophyllite, and kaolinite), or palygorskite was investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the kinetics of water adsorption and de...
