INTRODUCTION Heavy metals can be toxic, carcinogenic and are harmful to humans and other living species. The paint industry is one of the industry the causes of water pollution . contain variable amounts of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium , copper, and chromium. Lead are particularly common heavy metals found in paint industries wastewater . Lead ( Pb ) are hazardous and toxic nature; they commonly occur at high concentrations in contaminated waters. Lead permissible limit of <0.05 mg/L lead in drinking water. 25 May 2017 BiT 3
Cont’d Among several methods, adsorption has attached more attention to heavy metals removal. Kaolin (china clay) is a rock material that is rich in kaolinite. It has a two layer: Tetrahedral sheet of silica (SiO 2 ) & Octahedral sheet of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) Kaolin can adsorb heavy metals with formation of inner-sphere complexes through Si–O and Al–O groups at the clay particle edges. 25 May 2017 BiT 4
Cont’d 25 May 2017 BiT 5 The basal oxygen atoms of the siloxane sheet and the opposing surface hydroxyls of the alumina sheet generate hydrogen bonds. Modification of clay through acid treatment, calcinations, and intercalation to enhance its usability beyond its application in natural form. Integration of an adsorbent with other materials has better adsorption properties than the individual components effects.
Cont’d Chitosan is a chitin derivative and also it is naturally found in the cell wall . It can be extracted from mushroom and crustacean shells. Chitosan is synthesized from the deacetylation of chitin . It contain two chemically reactive groups Hydroxyl groups & Highly reactive amino groups Chitosan has some mechanical and chemical deficiency challenges which when improved upon, increases its adsorption capability. 25 May 2017 BiT 6
Cont’d Intercalation is the insertion of a guest species in the interlayer region of a clay mineral. 25 May 2017 BiT 7

Results and discussion Characterization of chitosan 1. Solubility test in acid solution The results acid solubility of chitosan are triplicate determination 83.77±0.067 . Chitosan's solubility in acetic acid was a sign of its purity . 2. Degree of Deacetylation The value of the chitosan made from mushroom was found to be 84% deacetylated . The greater elimination of inorganic components is shown by the chitosan's higher degree of deacetylation value. 25 May 2017 BiT 19
