Isotherm, Thermodynamics, and Kinetics of Methyl Orange Adsorption onto Magnetic Resin of Chitosan Microspheres
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Abstract
This section is vague. Please present your main results.
Introduction
The topics must be better linked.
Materials and methods
A statistical analysis section is missing.
SEM of the microspheres??
Results and discussion
The results must present a suitable statistical analysis.
Please add average values plus standard deviation. Please add different superscript letters for significant differences. Moreover, please revise the discussion in accordance.
The goodness of fit of each model was only assessed by the coefficient of determination??Please clarify.
Conclusion
Please do not repeat your results and focus on your main conclusions.

Reviewer 2 Report
This manuscript focused on the dye removal application of magnetic resin of chitosan microspheres, prepared by reversed-phase suspension cross-linking polymerization. There are several works like this work by using magnetic nanoparticles with chitosan. But this work mainly focused on the adsorption isotherms.
There are some comments
1 Introduction should be expanded by citing more literature
2 The quality of the figures is low.
3 The standard deviation on the plots can not be seen or missing. Should be added.
