  Abstract

The eff ective removal of organic dyes from aqueous solutions is essential for environmental protection and remediation. Hence, methods for fabricating effi cient and sustainable adsorbents for removing toxic dyes are urgently desired. Here, new cellulose/silica microspheres containing amino groups were prepared and applied as functional materials for capturing anionic pollutants. Tosyl cellulose, which has a high degree of substitution, was prepared from cellulose using an ionic liquid as the solvent. Further, (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane was utilized as a silica precursor to prepare the microhybrids via nucleophilic substitution, followed by the sol밽el process. The fabricated microhybrids exhibited an excellent capacity for methyl orange (MO) adsorption. Furthermore, the eff ects of diff erent pH values, contact times, and initial dye concentrations on the MO adsorption capacity were evaluated. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were eff ective for modeling the adsorption of MO on the cellulose/silica microspheres. Under the established optimal conditions, the cellulose/silica microspheres exhibited a higher adsorption capacity (588 mg/g) than those in previous reports. Therefore, the proposed cellulose/silica microspheres off er a promising platform for the sustainable development of water-purifi cation systems.
