Development of functionalized carrageenan, chitosan and alginate as polymeric chelating ligands for water softening

Chitosan, carrageenan and alginate are among the most abundant biopolymers in nature. They were prepared in uniform beads shape with a diameter of 2 mm ± 10%, using the encapsulator for removal of calcium, magnesium and iron cations from hard water.
