Abstract:
The spherical cellulose adsorbents, used for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions, were obtained by homogeneous graft copolymerization of cellulose with acryhc acid and followed by water-in-oil suspension technique. Various factors affecting adsorption properties such as pH, initial concentration of Cu2+, adsorption time, and adsorption temperature were investigated and the adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics were also explored in detail. The results showed that the equilibrium data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the thermodynamic parameters were derived to predict the nature of adsorption process. The kinetics of adsorption followed pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption involved diffusion controlled process. The spherical cellulose adsorbents have good adsorption performance to Cu2+ as well as regeneration capacity.
