Chitosan

Chitosan is a natural, biodegradable, and non-toxic polymer derived from chitin, which is obtained from the exoskeleton of crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster). It is a cationic biopolymer, meaning it carries a positive charge, which allows it to interact with negatively charged particles such as suspended solids, dyes, and heavy metals.Chitosan is widely used in water treatment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and food industries because of its eco-friendly nature and high adsorption capacity.

Applications

  • Water & Wastewater Treatment – Acts as a natural flocculant to remove turbidity, color, and heavy metals.
  • Food Industry – Used as a preservative, edible coating, and clarifying agent for beverages.
  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics – Used in wound healing, drug delivery, and as a moisturizer in cosmetic formulations.
  • Agriculture – Enhances plant growth, soil conditioning, and acts as a bio-pesticide.
  • Biotechnology & Biomedical Applications – Used in tissue engineering, gene delivery, and biofilm inhibition.
  • Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable – Safe for environment and humans.

Advantages

  • High Flocculation Efficiency – Effective in removing suspended solids, dyes, and metals.
  • Non-Toxic – Suitable for water, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
  • Cationic Nature – Can efficiently neutralize negatively charged particles.
  • Humectant & Moisturizer – Retains moisture effectively in products.
  • Versatile – Applicable in water treatment, agriculture, medicine, and food.
  • Enhances Quality – Improves water clarity and reduces chemical usage compared to synthetic polymers.
