It was found that phosphorylated cotton cellulose made by the phosphoric acid-urea method has a high cation-exchange capacity and when used in the form of a coarse fabric it shows good now characteristics in the calcium-hydrogen cycle. Its cation-exchange capacity increases with increasing phosphorus content and at a phosphorus content of about 5 percent the cation- exchange capacity reaches about 1,000 milliequivalents per kilogram. It is possible that specialized uses may be found for phosphorylated cotton cellulose, especially in the fabric form.
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.
