Abstract
Recently the removal of trace element using biodegradable polymers is important. This paper involves preparation and evaluation of chitosan/polyethylene glycol blend served as a heavy metal removal system. The author prepared various blending system with different composition ratios and different crosslinking density. Experimental results indicated that swelling degree and thermal property of the blend film were correlated with blend ratio and crosslink density. The blend film was then investigated its metal-binding performance. Copper sorption capacity was one of major potential applications in a field of wastewater treatment.
