Application of DFT and experimental tests for the study of compost formation between chitosan-1,3-dichloroketone with uses for the removal of heavy metals in wastewater

The environment presently contains greater amounts of heavy metals due to human activities, causing toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. This study evaluated a chitosan (CS) composite material combined with 1,3-dichlorocetone to extract heavy metals from affected waters, integrating experime...
