Abstract
Designing a value-added functional material from the whole lignocellulosic biomass was carried out via a simple protocol to convert the lignocellulosic biomass, whole pine needles, into a new selective and efficient adsorbent through periodate oxidation followed by reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The oxidized pine needles-oxime (OPNoxime) formed was assessed as methylene blue (MB) adsorbent. The OPNoxime and its dye-loaded form were characterized through various analytical techniques. The maximum specific surface area of OPNoxime based on monolayer coverage was 414.141 m2/g. Partition coefficient was also calculated for assessing the actual performance of the OPNoxime. Kinetic model validity was evaluated through Chi-square test, and normalized standard deviation. Adsorbent was reusable and a collective adsorption of 730.74 mg/g. Selectivity of OPNoxime for cationic dyes makes it a plausible material to purify the contaminated water.
