Two new crosslinked modified chitosan biopolymers, namely (CTS-VAN) and (FeO@CTS-VAN) bioadsorbents were prepared starting from chitosan and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (VAN) in presence of epichlorohydrin. The analytical techniques FT-IR, EDS, XRD, SEM and XPS besides BET surface analysis were utilized for full characterization of the bioadsorbents. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of various influencing parameters in Cr (VI) removal such as initial pH, contact time, adsorbent amount and initial Cr (VI) concentration.
