Synthesis of poly(hydroxamic acid-co-amidoxime) chelating ligands grafted Acacia cellulose for heavy metals removal

Heavy metal pollution in aqueous medium is a problem of global concern. The discharge of industrial effluents with low concentration of metals, yet promising technology should be emphasized in the problem. Consequently, a new chelating ligands containing hydroxamic acid and amidoxime functional grou...

Consequently, a new chelating ligands containing hydroxamic acid and amidoxime functional groups was synthesized from poly(methyl acrylate-co-acrylonitrile) (Poly(MA-co-AN)) grafted acacia cellulose. The poly(MA-co-AN) grafted cellulose was prepared by free radical initiation using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an initiator and the optimum percentage of grafting yield was found to achieve 344% when the concentration of acacia cellulose, H2SO4, CAN, MA and AN were observed at 0.062, 0.120, 0.016, 0.309 and 0.427 mol/L respectively. The optimized grafting process was carried out at 55 °C for two hours.

The reaction was carried out under optimized condition by using 2.878 × 10-3 mol/L of NH2OH.HCl solution, adjusted to pH 13.0 and the mixture was stirred at 70 °C for four hours.
