SEM analysis showed the particle size diameter of 185.96 nm, indicating a relatively rough and porous morphology. Under optimized conditions, the resulting calcium-based alginate-chitosan membrane achieved 40.5% Na⁺ and 48.39% Cl^- adsorptions, using 13.3 mL of 2% (w/v) chitosan and 26.6 mL of 2% (w/v) alginate with a 40-minutes contact time.
