Abstract
In this paper, a novel efficient dye adsorbent, functional loofah cellulose (FL) was successfully prepared using loofah cellulose as matrix and hyperbranched polyethylenimine(HBPEI) as functionalizing reagent. Its structure was characterized by various tools. The adsorption behavior of FL to reactive brilliant red K–2BP was further discussed under different pH, different amounts of adsorbent, and interfering ion intensity. The results showed that the adsorption process belonged to Langmuir's isothermal adsorption. When the initial concentration of dye was 500 mg/L, the maximum saturated adsorption capacity was 1552 mg/g. The adsorption process conforms to the quasi-second-order adsorption kinetics and belongs to spontaneous adsorption. In addition, FL has excellent recycling and regeneration ability.
