The adsorption of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on cellulose surfaces is one of the most studied examples of the adsorption of an anionic polyelectrolyte on a like-charged surface. It has been suggested that divalent ions can act as a bridge between CMC chains and the surface of cellulose and enhance the CMC adsorption: they can, however, also alter the structure of CMCs in the solution. In previous investigations, the influence of cations on solution properties has been largely overlooked. This study investigates the effect of Ca ions on the properties of CMC solutions as well as the influence on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), which was studied by dynamic light scattering and correlated with the adsorption of CMC on a cellulose surface probed using QCM-D. The presence of Ca facilitated the multichain association of CMC chains and increased the hydrodynamic diameter. This suggests that the adsorption of CMCs at high concentrations of CaCl is governed mainly by changes in solution properties rather than by changes in the cellulose surface. Furthermore, an entropy-driven mechanism has been suggested for the adsorption of CMC on cellulose. By comparing the adsorption of CMC from HO and DO, it was found that the release of water from the cellulose surface is driving the adsorption of CMC.

A new, effective powdered adsorbent (CMCFe) for removing oxytetracycline (OTC) was synthesized successfully in an acidic environment using a thermal fusion technique. CMC-Fe underwent comprehensive SEM, EDS, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, TGA, and BET analyses before and after adsorbing OTC. These studies systematically examined preparation variables such as CMC and FeCl ratios, acetic acid quantity, reaction duration, and temperature.

The titanium-based lithium ion sieve (HTO), renowned for its exceptional adsorption performance and cyclic stability, was utilized in addressing the global shortage of lithium resources. However, the recovery and reuse efficiency of HTO in powder form is relatively low, which limits its application in industrial fields. To address this issue, this study utilized carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the principal matrix material, while polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) played a dual function as both matrix and crosslinker, negating the necessity for supplementary crosslinking materials.

Surface patch binding (SPB)-based protein-polysaccharide assembly complexes are a feasible and eco-friendly way to generate emulsifiers, and their unique interfacial complexation, formed post-emulsification, makes emulsion stability control effortless. We explored the assembly of egg white protein (EWP) with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) at varying degrees of substitution (DS). The results demonstrated that EWP, functioning as polyampholytes, assembled with CMC through SPB, driven by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

Heavy metal ions in industrial wastewater pose significant environmental and ecological threats. In this work, a hydrogel featuring a double network structure was synthesized via radical polymerization and cross-linking of β-cyclodextrin (CD) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with acrylic acid (AA). The hydrogel's functional groups and microstructure were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
