Abstract
Chitosan–zeolite composite (CS/Z) adsorbent was prepared from chitosan and zeolite 3A. The chitosan (CS) was prepared from shrimp processing waste (shell) using chemical processes. The percentage yield and degree of deacetylation were 13.64% and 87.07% respectively. The matrix formulation was gotten with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using central composite design. The best matrix ratio of chitosan to zeolite was 1:7. The CS/Z adsorbent was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Key words: Chitosan, zeolite, CS/Z adsorbent.
