AB - Chitosan beads demonstrate good adsorption capacity in wastewater treatment. The ease with which the
chitosan beads separate from the effluent and the possibilities of sorbent regeneration have made chitosan
beads a more prominent form for biosorption. However, chitosan beads form gels at pHs below 5.5, which
makes them unsuitable to be employed in treatment process. Bifunctional agents are introduced to
increase the integrity of the beads by crosslinking chitosan. Crosslinked chitosan beads exhibit different
adsorption capacities for distinct types and categories of dyestuffs. In this study, the removal of Direct
