Resumo

AQUEOUS SOLU-TIONS, USING CHITOSAN -POLY(VINYL ALCOHOL) CAPSULES.Capsules were prepared from chitosan (QTS)-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend by saline coacervation and then by formalization.A adsorbent based on chitosan, insoluble on acid solution, was obtained.The morphology, average diameters of QTS/PVA capsules and their pores were studied by using scanning electron microscopy.The entrapment-adsorption of dimethylglioxime and ethylenediaminetetracetate by the capsules were studied.The removal of the ion nickel (II) and copper (II), was more effective than by using unloaded capsules.
