Nanocellulose from Spinifex as an Effective Adsorbent to Remove Cadmium(II) from Water

Nanocelluloses, in the form of carboxycellulose nanofibers, with low crystallinity (CI ∼ 50%), high surface charge (−68 mV), and hydrophilicity (static contact angle 38°), were prepared from an untreated (raw) Australian spinifex grass using a nitro-oxidation method employing nitric acid and sodium...
