Key Points

This research aims to improve the dehydration of biodiesel using chitosan-based hydrogels through alkaline hydrolysis.
Immersed chitosan-graft-polyacrylamide hydrogels in 0.5 M sodium hydroxide at 75 °C for 18 hours.
Conducted batch experiments to analyze sorption mechanisms and dehydration efficiency.
Evaluated hydrogel performance through SEM, FTIR, and TGA analysis.
Increased swelling degree from 11 g·g?¹ to 139 g·g?¹.
Dehydration efficiency improved from 47% to 65%.
Reduced biodiesel water content from 1,700 to 567 mg·kg?¹, nearing international specification limits.
