Abstract
Prawn-shell derivatives extracted in the laboratory in two different methods were tested for their turbidity removal efficiency and pH dependency and the results were compared with those of alum and commercially available chitosan. One method gave a product which behaved similar to commercial chitosan in turbidity removal efficiency. It was discovered that the diluted supernatant also showed very high turbidity removal capabilities.
