Chitosan (CS) is an important biomaterial widely used in purification and separation applications. This project has developed two novel CS-based materials for industrial applications, i.e. (1) CS hydrogel beads for wastewater treatment, and (2) CS nanocomposite membranes for pervaporation separation...
