    In situ reductive regeneration of zerovalent iron nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose for atom efficient Cr( VI ) adsorption
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Sharma,Archana Kumari; Kumar,Rabindra; Mittal, Sunil; Hussain,Shamima; Arora, Meenu; Sharma, R.C.; Babu, J. Nagendra
    Zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) (11.8 ± 0.2% w/w) immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose (C-nZVI) were synthesized and studied for Cr(VI) sorption. The material showed good atom economy for Cr(VI) adsorption (562.8 mg g−1 of nZVI). Oxidation of cellulose to cellulose dialdehyde leads to in situ regeneration of nZVI which is responsible for the atom efficient Cr(VI) sorption by C-nZVI.
