Cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs, 90% crystalline) were used to enhance the adsorption capacity of chitosan-gpoly( acrylic acid) hydrogel. The composites up to 20 w/w-% CNWs showed improved adsorption capacity towards methylene blue (MB) as compared to the pristine hydrogel. At 5 w/w-% CNWs the composite presented the highest adsorption capacity (1968 mg/g). The maximum removal of MB (> 98% of initial concentration 2000 mg/L) was achieved quickly (60 min) at room temperature, pH 6, and at low ionic strength (0.1 M). Adsorption mechanism was explained with the Langmuir type I model suggesting the formation of a MB monolayer on the adsorbent surface. The interaction between the adsorbent and MB molecules was explained by chemisorption, as suggested by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Desorption experiments showed that 75% of loaded-MB could be recovered from the adsorbent by its immersion in a pH 1 solution. Additional experiments showed the post-utilized composite could be regenerated and reused for at least 5 consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles with minimum efficiency loss (similar to 2%).
