Abstract
Anionic micropollutants pose significant threats to environmental organisms, and their removal or minimization is imperative. To achieve efficient removal, an imine-functionalized cellulose-based adsorbent called surface-modified cross-linked cellulose (SMCC) was developed, and its preparation process was optimized. The optimization focused on determining the appropriate quantities of NaIO4 and aminoguanidine, reaction times, and the cross-linking ratio between treated and untreated cellulose. The effectiveness of SMCC was evaluated by removing 28 anionic micropollutants, including antimicrobial agents and pharmaceuticals. The adsorption capacities of SMCC ranged from 19.51 to 5406.19 μmol/g, highlighting its strong adsorption potential. In addition, through quantitative structure–adsorption relationship modeling, adsorption affinity was predicted with good accuracy (R2 = 0.909). These results demonstrate the effectiveness of SMCC as an innovative and sustainable solution for mitigating the environmental impact of anionic micropollutants.
期刊介绍:
Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
