dc.description.abstract	Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the possibility of using Chitosan, a bio polymer for the removal of fat originated from coconut milk. Identification of optimum parametric conditions for fat adsorptivity was conducted using a synthetic wastewater prepared from commercially available coconut milk. Chitosan powder was made into beads to avoid interferences in taking spectrophotometric readings. Experimental results indicated that chitosan is a potential substance to be used in this context.	en_US
