• Chitosan
• Acid yellow dye
• Adsorption

Chitosan flakes, extracted from prawns and labeo rohita scales, with high adsorption capacity were prepared after chemical treatment and were used to remove acid yellow dye from water. The results showed that adsorption capacity is dependent on pH, initial concentration of dye, BET, Langmuir surface area and pore volume of the adsorbent. In acidic conditions, the polymer amino groups were protonated (positively charged polymer chain), which showed attraction with negative ions of anionic dye. Chitosan from prawns scales showed higher dye adsorption under the same experimental conditions. Adsorption isotherms were developed and equilibrium data fitted well to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.
