Development of Cotton Linter Nanocellulose for Complexation of Ca, Fe, Mg and Mn in Effluent Organic Matter

Effluent organic matter (EfOM) is present in different domestic and industrial effluents, its capacity to hold metallic ions can interfere the wastewater treatment process. Due low quality of water, new sustainable technologies for this purpose have become extremely important, with development renewable-source nanomaterials standing out literature. Nanocellulose (NC) deserves be highlighted context due physicochemical characteristics natural abundant origin. In context, interactions between NC extracted from cotton linter, fraction (humic substances) metal been evaluated. Free (Ca, Fe, Mg Mn) were separated by ultrafiltration quantified atomic absorption spectrometry. The nanomaterial obtained showed potential effluents containing iron even presence matter. probable interaction prevents efficient removal calcium, magnesium manganese. For these elements, it desirable increase modifying surface nanomaterial.
