Abstract: In this paper the structure of the chitosan-ferric(CTS-Fe3+)complex prepared by non-homogeneous adsorption was confirmed by IR and UVspectra, and the isothermal adsorption kinetics of CTS for ferric ions has also been investigated. The experiments indicated that the chelate reaction occurrs between -NH2, -OH, -NHCOCH3 of CTS and ferric ions, the adsorption is satisfied with the Langmuir-single-molecule-layer adsorption mechanism, and the apparent adsorption activation energy is 3.6476kJ/mol.
