Development of eco-friendly microwaved chitosan-based nanocomposite membrane for efficient capturing of cationic dyes from aqueous solution: permeability and fouling studies

Removing deleterious cationic dyes from wastewater is crucial due to their persistence, toxicity, and harmful effects on public health and ecosystems. In this study, microwaved chitosan nanoparticles (MWCNP) were synthesized and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and Fourier-transf...
