Transport studies for the sorption of copper ions by chitosan
Abstract
The ability of chitosan, prepared from waste prawn shell, to sorb copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions has been studied. Equilibrium studies show that chitosan has a maximum sorption capacity for copper ions of about 40mg/g chitosan. The mass transport characteristics have been investigated by monitoring the kinetics in an agitated batch adsorber. An external mass transfer coefficient and an intraparticle diffusion rate parameter have been determined for a number of system variables including agitation, initial copper ion concentration, chitosan mass, chitosan particle size and solution temperature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
