Removal of stable and radio isotopes from wastewater by using modified microcrystalline cellulose based on Taguchi L16

Abstract Water pollution connected with rapid industrial growth is one of the most challenging issues worldwide. The disposal heavy metals turns out to be complex and expensive, so several researchers have tried remove these pollutants based on abundantly available, inexpensive materials, such as agsricultural waste used sorbents; however, materials not achieved sufficient removal rates. Consequently, research has been conducted for economic, environmentally benign, efficient byproduct materials. Among auspicious techniques was extraction microcrystalline cellulose, chemically modified by a low-molecular-weight organic acid citric (McC-CA); are powerful chelators from water bodies. Taguchi robust design approach in present study optimize factors determing efficieny metal removal, namely ion concentration, pH-value, adsorbent dosage, contact time, through an orthogonal array (OA) L16 = 4 batch absorbtion experiments. results illustrated optimum combination Co (II) Cs (I) adsorption pH (5–6), C (1–50 mg L ?1 ), D (3–4 g T (60–100 min) according contour plots verification tests, Where percent reached 74 88% cobalt cesium respectively when using this optimal combination. Furthermore, applied 60 137 ranged 96.01 90.28% Co, 100 94.25% Cs. Therefore, it can inferred that use McC-CA constitutes effective tool ions waterbodies.
