Modified cellulose membrane prepared from corn stalk for adsorption of methyl blue

In this study, amino functionalized corn stalk (CS) cellulose membrane (ACM) was prepared to adsorb methyl blue from aqueous solution. Cellulose was obtained by treating CS pulp with NaOH and mixed acid and cellulose membrane (CM) was prepared by using NaOH/thiourea as solvent via phase inversion technique. The CM was modified with epoxy chloropropane and diethylenetriamine to acquire ACM. The cellulose content in CS pulp was measured after...
