Abstract:A cellulose fiber was modified with Schiff base compound having the complexation ability of metal ions, and the modified cellulose fiber used as a metal ion adsorbent. The modified cellulose fiber was synthesized by reacting glycidyl methacrylate using diammonium cerium(IV) nitrate as a catalyst followd by reacting with bis-(2-pyridylmethylideneiminoethyl) amine as Schiff base compound having pyridyl groups. The obtained cellulose fiber, BPIEA-GMA grafted cellulose was characterized by SEM, IR, and XPS and use… Show more
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.
