In recent years, the use of low-cost adsorbents, such as chitosan, in wastewater treatment has increased. Chitosan is a safe, environmentally friendly and costeff ective substance produced by alkaline de-acetylation(DD) of chitin, which can be used as an adsorbent. Chitosan and its derivatives have attracted considerable attention as an appropriate adsorbent for dye removal due to their specifi c characteristics such as non-toxicity, cationicity, biodegradability and high absorption capability. Many chitosan derivatives have been obtained by chemical and physicalmodifi cations of raw chitosan, including cross-linking and graft ing new functional groups on the chitosan backbone to absorb dyes. Th is review summarizes the applications of chitosan and its graft ed and cross-linked derivatives in removing dyes from wastewater. It also highlights notable examples in the use of chitosan and its derivatives for dye removal from aqueous solutions. © 2016 Scrivener Publishing LLC. date: 2016 publisher: wiley official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85014472154&doi=10.1002%2f9781119041214.ch14&partnerID=40&md5=9a167c9876a0660ec3645308a9770589 id_number: 10.1002/9781119041214.ch14 full_text_status: none publication: Smart Materials for Waste Water Applications pagerange: 347-377 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781119041214; 9781119041184 citation: Vakili, M. and Rafatullah, M. and Gholami, Z. and Farraji, H.
