Modification of kenaf fibers by single step radiation functionalization of 2-hydroxyl methacrylate phosphoric acid (2-HMPA)

Phosphorylated adsorbent is commonly used in the extraction of rare earth metals and radioactive waste because of its high affinity in acidic condition. In this study, adsorbent containing phosphoric acid groups was synthesized by one-step radiation-induced grafting of 2-hydroxyl methacrylate phosph...
