A process of phosphorylation for a mercerized cotton kersey fabric was investigated. After wet oxidation, the phosphorus content in each sample was determined by spectrophotometric analysis. The range was 0.179 to 0.950 mmol g–1. A significant decrease in the tensile strength of samples resulted from an increase of phosphoric acid concentration in the phosphorylating solution. The mercerization has a positive impact on the process of phosphorylation, as the phosphorus content was found to be three times higher in the samples that underwent mercerization. The sorption properties of phosphorylated cotton fabric were studied using the Cu2+ sorption process as a reference. The value of the static exchange capacity for the phosphorylated fabric was determined to reach its maximum when the concentration of the H3PO4 in the phosphorylating solution was 1.40 M, and was found to be 1.48 ± 0.11 mmol g–1 with the phosphorus content equal to 0.898 ± 0.090 mmol g–1. The sorption of Cu2+ by a single phosphorus-containing group occurred for samples with phosphorus content not exceeding 0.80 mmol g–1. The preliminary studies of micro-quantities of 241Am, 233U, and 239Pu radionuclide sorption from aqueous solutions with phosphorylated textile demonstrated the high efficiency.
A process of a mercerised cotton cellulose sample phosphorylation has been investigated. After oxidation a phosphorus content was determined by spectrophotometric analysis and it was in a range of 0.179 to 0.950 mmol g–1. A significant decrease in the tensile strength of the sample was found upon an increase of phosphoric acid concentration in a phosphorylating solution. Phosphorylated mercerized fabric contents more phosphorous as unmercerized fabric in 3 times. The sorption properties of phosphorylated cotton cellulose in aqueous solution containing Cu2+ were characterized. The maximum of static exchange capacity was found to be 1.48 ± 0.11 mmol g–1 for phosphorylated cotton with content 0.898 ± 0.090 mmol g–1 of phosphorus. The sorption of Cu2+ by single phosphorus-containing group occurs for samples with not exceeding 0.80 mmol g–1 of phosphorus. The preliminary studies of uranium(VI) micro quantities of radionuclides 241Am, 233U and 239Pu sorption from aqueous solution with phosphorylated textile demonstrated the high efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
