Synthesis, Characterization and Analytical Applications of Chemically Modified Cellulose for remediation of environmental pollutants

Carbohydrazide functionalized cellulose (CH-MC) was prepared and characterized using some qualified techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Infra-Red (FT-IR), Elemental analysis (EA) Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) . The CH-MC employed for uptake of heavy metal ions as, Hg2+and Cu2+ from different samples. Sorption parameters: pH, temperature, time sorption the concentration sorbent were investigated to determine best conditions sorption. kinetic agreed with second-order model chemical adsorption is rate-limiting step. In addition, isotherm experiments revealed that adequate Langmuir which maximum capacities Cu2+and Hg2+ on are 43.3 64 mg/g, respectively. real samples including Cu2+were used analytical applications present methodology observed data promising.
