Bulletin #3: Chitosan: A Promising Eco-Friendly Solution for Drinking Water Treatment

The effectiveness of chitosan, a biopolymer derived from crustacean, was evaluated in reducing the turbidity of drinking water through flocculation. In this study, Chitosan with molecular weight ranges in 50 – 1000 kDa effectively reduced turbidity by 90-99% in water containing bentonite and kaolinite clay. Optimal results are achieved at low dosages (1-3 mg/L) making […]
