Abstract
A novel adsorbent was prepared via crosslinking graft copolymerization of 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) onto carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) backbone. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and potassium persulphate were used as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. CMC-g-PDMAEMA hydrogel was used to remove methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were found to follow Pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, respectively. The high maximum adsorption capacity (1825Â mg/g) implied that CMC-g-PDMAEMA can be used as promising adsorbent for the synthetic dyes removal from wastewater.
