Sodium, ferric and aluminum salts of oxycellulose and the amphoteric ion ex
changer derivatives from cationized oxycellulose were prepared. Thermal beh
aviour of the different samples was investigated by thermal gravimetric ana
lysis (TG) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) technique. The rate const
ant and the activation energy were estimated. Infrared spectroscopy of the
different samples were investigated, analyzed and discussed.
