A conventional free-radical initiating process was used to prepare graft copolymers from acrylonitrile (AN) with corn-cob cellulose with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an initiator. The optimum grafting was achieved with corn-cob cellulose (anhydroglucose unit, AGU), mineral acid (H2SO4), CAN, and AN at concentrations of 0.133, 0.081, 0.0145, and 1.056 mol/L, respectively. Furthermore, the nitrile functional groups of the grafted copolymers were converted to amidoxime ligands with hydroxylamine under basic conditions of pH 11 with 4 h of stirring at 70 degrees C. The purified acrylic polymer-grafted cellulose and polyamidoxime ligand were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis. The ligand showed an excellent copper binding capacity (4.14 mmol/g) with a faster rate of adsorption (average exchange rate = 7 min), and it showed a good adsorption capacity for other metal ions as well. The metal-ion adsorption capacities of the ligand were pH-dependent in the following order: Cu2+ > Co2+ > Mn2+ > Cr3+ > Fe3+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+. The metal-ion removal efficiency was very high; up to 99% was removed from the aqueous media at a low concentration. These new polymeric chelating ligands could be used to remove aforementioned toxic metal ions from industrial wastewater. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
