Synthesis and Characterization of a New Ion Exchange Cellulose -1- Butane Sulphonic Acid (CBSA) Resin and its Application for Removal of Hazardous Metal Ion (Pb2+) from Industrial Waste Water by Batch Method

Objective: The purpose of this work is to develop and evaluate a new cellulose-1-butane sulphonic acid resin and use it for the elimination of hazardous metallic ions from textile industry effluent. Method: In the laboratory, a new cellulose-based resin containing 1- Butane sulphonic acid group has been synthesized. 1-Butane sulphonic acid group has been introduced into cellulose matrix through modified Porath’s method. Findings: Development of cellulose-1-butane sulphonic acid resin based on natural polysaccharides for the removal of lead ions, a dangerous metal, from industrial wastewater. Cellulose -1-Butane sulphonic acid resin's adsorbed metal ions were efficiently eluted using varying strengths of HCl solution. The resin could then be washed with pure, acidic distilled water to restore it to its H+ cationic exchanger state ten times. The hazardous metal ion Pb2+ can be specifically extracted from industrial waste water using the cellulose-1-Butane Sulphonic Acid (CBSA) resin. Novelty: Ion exchange capacity, pH titration, FTIR spectra, elemental analysis, and moisture levels were used to characterize the CBSA resin. At various pH levels, the distribution coefficient value (Kd) of lead metal ions has been methodically investigated using the batch method.
