Popis: In this research, a novel chitosan (CS)–vanadium-titanium-magnetite (VTM) composite was designed and synthesized. The interaction between CS-VTM and Congo red (CR) dye conformed to a pseudo-second-order model to support the potent involvement of chemisorption. The effects of adsorbent dosage, reaction temperature, and initial solution pH on adsorption of CR were investigated. Approximately 99.1% of CR (100 mg/L) was adsorbed at a CS-VTM dose of 2.0 g/L or above, while such a reaction was favored at temperatures of 65 °C and pH of 6.0. Thermodynamically, the adsorption of CR proceeded spontaneously (ΔG
