preparation and characterization of modified nanocellulose with cbimmt ligand as a new nanosorbent

in this study, nanocellulose with high surface areas have been obtained using α-cellulose (80% crystallinity) by acidic hydrolysis during the synthesis process. our suggested modified nanocellulose was prepared by immobilization of cbimmt ligand on nanocellulose. the properties of nanocellulose and modified nanocellulose were characterized by transmission electron microscope tem, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy eds, thermogravimetric analysis tga, elemental analysis chns, and brunauer-emmett-teller bet techniques.
