Chitosan/activated coal composite as an effective adsorbent for Mn(VII): Modeling and interpretation of physicochemical parameters.

Chitosan was impregnated into porous activated coal to produce a multifunctional chitosan/activated coal (Cs/Ac) composite. The resulted Cs/Ac was characterized and utilized as a cost-effective adsorbent for Mn(VII) at altered temperatures (i.e.
