Carboxymethylcellulose/Hydrotalcite Bionanocomposites as Paraben Sorbents.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we synthesized several bionanocomposites of hydrotalcites containing carboxymethylcellulose as interlayer anion (HT-CMC) to be used as sorbents for parabens, a family of emergent pollutants (specifically, for 4-methyl-, 4-propyl- and 4-benzylparaben). Bionanocomposites were obtained by ultrasound-assisted coprecipitation and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, fourier transform infrared and raman spectroscopies, elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopies and X-ray fluorescence. All materials proved to be efficient sorbents for parabens through a process conforming to a pseudo second-order kinetics. The experimental adsorption data fitted the Freundlich model very closely and were also highly correlated with
