Application of ZnO/Chitosan composite for Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solution

Chitosan-zinc oxide composite was synthesized by in-situ precipitation method. Results show that ZnO/chitosan nanocomposite was successfully generated by direct simple, fast, and eco-friendly in situ precipitation method. The composite was applied as an adsorbent in order to remove congo red and methyl orange from aqueous solutions. It can be suggested that ZnO/chitosan nanocomposite could serve as promising adsorbent for removing of congo red and methyl orange (MO) in wastewater treatment technology.
