Abstract

A novel chemically modified cellulose (Cell-DMA) adsorbent using Schiff base tertiary amine-chelating group was synthesized for the removal of Hg 2+ metal ions from aqueous solution.Mercury is a highly toxic, environmental pollutant, which requires new ecofriendly green adsorbent material for its removal from wastewater.The physical and chemical characteristics of the adsorbent (Cell-DMA) were determined by FTIR, 13 C NMR, SEM and EDAX analysis.The well-characterized chemically modified cellulose (Cell-DMA) was used for the removal of mercury (II) ions from aqueous solution using batch adsorption process.The obtained data were analyzed with various kinetic and isotherm models and it was found that the pseudo second order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm were well suited for the adsorption of mercury (II) ions from aqueous media.
