Synthesis and Characterization of Silane–Nanocrystalline Cellulose Composites For Arsenic Abatement

Kiran Singh, Shalini Srivastava

Abstract :

Reduction in arsenic MCL from 50 to 10 ppb has resulted in technical and operational effects on water treatment technologies that have required up–gradation to meet this new standard. This work presents the development of a technique using nanocrystalline cellulose composites reinforced with silane coupling agent, 3–Mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silane (MPTMS) filled in non–woven polypropylene filter bags for efficient arsenic abatement from water bodies providing an economic and simple biosorption technique with high adsorption capacity, MPTMS: 9.48 and 8.57 mg/g for As (III) and As (V), respectively.
