AB  - The ternary blends consisting of Chitosan (CS), Nylon 6 (Ny 6) and 
      Montmorillonite clay (MM clay) were prepared by the solution blending method with 
      glutaraldehyde. The prepared ternary blends were characterization by Fourier 
      transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermo 
      gravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM). The FTIR results showed that the strong intermolecular 
      hydrogen bondings were established between chitosan, nylon 6 and montmorillonite 
      clay. TGA showed the thermal stability of the blend is enhanced by glutaraldehyde 
      as Crosslink agent. Results of XRD indicated that the relative crystalline of the 
      pure chitosan film was reduced when the polymeric network was reticulated by 
      glutaraldehyde. Finally, the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 
      indicated that the morphology of the blend was rough and heterogenous. Further, 
      it confirms the interaction between the functional groups of the blend 
      components. The extent of removal of the trace metals was found to be almost the 
      same. The removal of these metals at different pH was also done and the maximum 
      removal of the metals was observed at pH 4.5 for both trace metals. Adsorption 
      studies and kinetic analysis have also been made. Moreover, the protonation of 
      amine groups is induced an electrostatic repulsion of cations. When the pH of the 
      solution was more than 5.5, the sorption rate began to decrease. Besides, the 
      quantity of adsorbate on absorbent was fitted as a function in Langmuir and 
      Freundlich isotherm. The sorption kinetics was tested for pseudo first order and 
      pseudo second order reaction. The kinetic experimental data correlated with the 
      second order kinetic model and rate constants of sorption for kinetic models were 
      calculated and accordingly, the correlation coefficients were obtained.
