Characterization and Adsorption Behavior of Newly Synthesized Aminated Cellulose with Jeffamine EDR148 Towards Ni(II), Cu(II), and Pb(II) Heavy Metal Ions.

ABSTRACT: Industrial wastewater containing heavy metal ions presents serious economic risk to the environment. In this study, a novel compound of aminated cellulose with jeffamine EDR148 was prepared to improve cellulose's adsorptive behavior towards metal ions. This study undertook a straightforward and efficient cellulose modification through homogeneous chlorination in N,N'-butylmethylimidazolium chloride to produce 6-deoxychlorocellulose (Cell-Cl), followed by a reaction with jeffamine EDR148 and ultimately resulting in the formation of aminated cellulose (Cell-Jef148). Structural and chemical characteristics of Cell-Cl and Cell-Jef148 were determined using different techniques. Various adsorption conditions were applied to evaluate the optimal adsorption conditions for the removal of Cu(II), Ni
