chitin-based filters and membranes
Chitin-based filters and membranes refer to filtration systems or barriers that are made using chitin, a versatile and biodegradable natural polymer found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and insects. These filters and membranes are capable of selectively separating substances based on their size, charge, or chemical interactions, and can be used in various applications such as water treatment, air filtration, and bioreactors.
