Synthesis and characterization of chitosan-g-N-methyl piperazinium chloride: A hybrid flocculant

- The water soluble chitosan-g-N-MPC was synthesized.
- The synthesized chitosan-g-N-MPC exhibits higher water solubility and can directly be employed for wastewater treatment.
- Flocculation performance of chitosan-g-N-MPC was evaluated under various pH conditions.
- Chitosan-g-N-MPC exhibits improved flocculation efficiency, when compared to chitosan and PAMPC for the tannery effluents.
