Competitive adsorption behavior of typical heavy metal ions from acid mine drainage by multigroup-functionalization cellulose: qualitative and quantitative mechanism.

In response to Cd, Pb, and Cu pollution in acid mine drainage (AMD), a multigroup cellulose material (TCIS) containing thiol (-SH), carboxyl (-COOH), and imine (-C = N) groups was prepared through oxidation and grafting reactions. At pH 5, the maximum Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) adsorption performances of TCIS were 53.60, 120.
