Abstract:
A series of cellulose derivatives bearing dialkyl dithiocarbamate (DTC) groups were synthesized. Their ability of sorption of arsenite (As(iii)) and heavy metals and their storage stability in the solid state were investigated. Among them, DTC-modified cellulose derived from l-proline showed the highest sorption capacity for As(iii) and heavy metals to selectively remove them from aqueous media. It also showed exellent storage stability in air at 40 °C.
