Abstract

Synthetic dyes are used extensively in modern industries, which are toxic and harmful to environment and human. Cotton fiber is a kind of abundant, renewable and eco-friendly cellulose fiber in nature, however, the adsorption capacity of raw cellulose for pollutants was often low. Therefore, an efficient adsorbent for removal of dyes was successfully prepared by grafting beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (NH2-HBP) onto cotton fibers in this study, which was effective to anionic dyes and cationic dyes. The adsorbent were characterized using FTIR, SEM and XPS analysis. The results of adsorption experiments showed that the adsorbent based on cotton fiber exhibited better adsorption performance for Congo red(CR) and methylene blue(MB). The experimental results revealed that the pH value had a great influence on the adsorption capacity.
