Carboxymethyl cellulose-hydrogel embedded with modified magnetite nanoparticles and porous carbon: Effective environmental adsorbent

Adsorption is the most efficient technique for the removal of metal ions and organic dyes from water. This stimulates demand for the preparation of eco-friendly adsorbents. In this study, magnetic hydrogels based on a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose grafted acrylamide (CMC-g-AM) embedded with porous carbon (PC) and citric acid-modified magnetite were prepared. PC was synthesized via single-step oxidation of bagasse under muffled atmosphere...
