Abstract
This work describes the preparation of new chelating material from mercerized cellulose. The first part treats the chemical modification of non-mercerized cellulose (cell 1) and mercerized cellulose (cell 2) with succinic anhydride. Mass percent gains (mpg) and degree of succinylation (DS) of cell 3 (from cell 1) and cell 4 (from cell 2) were calculated. Cell 4 in relation to cell 3 exhibited an increase in mpg and in the concentration of carboxylic functions of 68.9% and 2.8 mmol/g, respectively. Cells 5 and 6 were obtained by treatment of cells 3 and 4 with bicarbonate solution to release the carboxylate functions and characterized by FTIR. The second part compares the adsorption capacity of cells 5 and 6 for Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ ions in an aqueous single metal solution. Adsorption isotherms were developed using Langmuir model. Cell 6 in relation to cell 5 exhibited an increase in Qmax for Cu2+ (30.4 mg/g), Cd2+ (86.0 mg/g) and Pb2+ (205.9 mg/g).
