Modified Cellulose for Adsorption of Methylparaben and Butylparaben from an Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: Emerging contaminants are chemical products that are found in low concentrations, are not regulated by environmental norms, and cause health effects. Among this group of contaminants are parabens, a family of p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Recent research describes parabens as endocrine disruptors that can cause health alterations. Some of the best alternatives for pollutant removal include the adsorption process, which can use materials that are inexpensive, abundant, and susceptible to modifications. In this sense, cellulose can be an option for obtaining materials that can be used in the removal of contaminants. This research investigates the synthesis of benzoic cellulose (MCB) and magnetic cellulose (MCM) as
