T. Onofrei et al., Sorption of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) on 1(4 '-azobenzylcellulose)-2-naphthol. Thermogravimetric characterization, CELL CHEM T, 34(3-4), 2000, pp. 261-268
1(4'-azobenzylcellulose)-2-naphthol has been analyzed by thermal methods, u
nder non-isothermal conditions, both before and after Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni
(II) sorption. The kinetic and compensation parameters permitted to put int
o evidence a complex mechanism of physical and chemical sorption, chemisorp
tion being predominant for Ni(II) and Cu(II), with the highest weight in th
e case of the lost element, while for Co(II), adsorption occurs preferentia
lly.
