In this work, chitosan, a biopolymer was cross-linked using glutaraldehyde (Gl) and modified by natural apatite. The Cs-Gl@Fap composite was used to adsorb methyl orange from an aqueous solution. The materials were characterised by SEM-EDX, FTIR, XRD and TGA-DTG analysis confirming the successful sy...
