Abstract
A benign dicarboxylic cellulose/silica hybrid was synthesized through periodate-chlorite oxidation of cellulose followed by in-situ silica network formation through sol-gel process. The crosslinked 2, 3 dicarboxylic cellulose/silica hybrid showed a homogenous morphology and the internal structure shows rod-like structure for 2, 3 dicarboxylic cellulose with â¼5â¯nm in width. The current hybrid was investigated as a new adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) adsorption from aqueous solutions. The adsorption data were best represented by pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption is 526â¯mg/g according to Langmuir fitting. The obtained results suggested potential applications of dicarboxylic cellulose/silica hybrid for the efficient removal of MB from contaminated wastewater.
