We developed a multi-functional adsorbent with excellent adsorption capacity and low contact time for
reactive blue (RB) 19 dye removal. A multi-functional film based on chitosan (CS) combined with
nanosized MgO was prepared by solvent casting with mild drying. The CS/MgO composite product was
characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Field emission-scanning
microscopy, and thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analyses. The adsorption properties of the
CS/MgO film for RB 19 removal, including effects of key factors (i.e., adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH,
initial dye concentration), adsorption equilibrium, and adsorption kinetics, ...
