Chitosan membranes were prepared from local shrimp shells. Membranes were prepared as homogeneous (unmodified) and crosslinked chitosan. Chitosan membranes were modified via chemical crosslinking technique. The extent of crosslinking were determined by its crosslinking time. The pervaporation perfor...
