This study attempts to evaluate the removal of chromium from aqueous solution using chitosan as an adsorbent. The experiment was conducted by varying chitosan dosage (10-30 mg), pH (5-8), contact time (10-90 min) and agitation speed (50-250 rpm). The initial Cr concentration was fixed to 20 mg L-1....
