A novel cartoon crosslinked β-cyclodextrin (C-β-CD) polymer for effective uptake of Hg from aqueous solutions: Kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and statistical physics approach

A novel cartoon crosslinked β-cyclodextrin (C-β-CD) polymer was obtained by crosslinking β-CD unities and cellulosic fibers of paper towel cardboard via esterification using citric acid. C-β-CD polymer was used as an adsorbent to uptake Hg from aqueous matrices, and kinetics, equilibrium, thermodyna...
