Magnetic chitosan was prepared by co-precipitation with polymeric Schiff's base resulting from the reaction of thiourea with glutaraldehyde. This material has great potential as high-effective sorbent for Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR): maximum sorption capacity reached 0.441mmolg(-1) at pH 1.6 and at 25 degrees C. Kinetic plots, pH dependence, isotherm data, and influences of ionic strength were reported. The data from equilibrium sorption experiments are well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order sorption kinetics indicates that chemisorption controls the process. The distribution coefficient was calculated at different temperatures and the thermodynamic parameters have been calculated: the sorption reaction is endothermic, spontaneous, and increases the entropy of the system. Alkaline solution (0.5M NaOH) was used for desorbing RBBR from loaded sorbent. The sorbent exhibited good regenerability over several repeated adsorption/desorption cycles. [GRAPHICS]
