Description
Teng Huang and colleagues present a 2026 study on a chitosan-clay blend that pulls dyes out of water. Chitosan, a natural polymer from crustacean shells, sticks to pollutants but works weakly on its own. The team used computer simulations to pick the best clay partner and chitosan size, then ran soaking tests with three common dyes to check the blend in practice.
The lightest chitosan grade on bentonite clay performed best, clearing about nine tenths of the methylene blue in test water and solid shares of the other two dyes. Soaking followed a standard second-order rate pattern and worked better in the cold. The authors offer the tuned blend as a cheap, biodegradable option for farm and factory wastewater.
