The purpose of the research was to investigate the effects of temperature, initial pH, initial concentration, and contact time on the biosorption of neutral red (NR) by modified chitosan using a batch technique. The modified chitosan was prepared by grafting poly (amic acid), which was obtained via reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and L-arginine, onto the surface of cross-linked chitosan. The NR sorption process was evaluated at 25 degrees C, 35 degrees C, and 45 degrees C. Results showed that the modified chitosan had a good capacity for biosorption of NR. The kinetic behavior was described by the pseudo-second-order model. The experimental isotherms obtained were fit better with the Langmuir model than with the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters triangle H degrees and triangle S degrees were calculated using the Van't Hoff equation, and the results showed that NR sorption by modified chitosan was an endothermic and spontaneous process.
