Study on the equilibrium and kinetics of nickel (II) adsorption on cellulose from peanut shell modified with chitosan

Abstract

In this study, cellulose was produced by activating peanut shells with 5% NaOH as an alkaline agent and bleaching with 5 wt.% H₂O₂. Before being modified with chitosan, the cellulose was slightly oxidized withammonium persulfate to introduce carboxyl groups...
