Abstract:
In this work, phosphate-rich cellulose beads (CBPs) were first used for cesium extraction from aqueous solutions. These green, abundant, cheap, and renewable CBPs demonstrated a high adsorption capacity and fast absorption rate. Besides, the CBPs also exhibited excellent stability and recycling performance, as well as good selectivity. This study presents the promising application potential of cellulose for efficient cesium extraction from aqueous media.
