Abstract

Specific area is a physical characteristic that serves as a predictor of dyeing performance. The objective of this study was to establish a method for measuring the specific area of some cellulose supports by using methylene blue adsorption in liquid phase. In this study, we used three natural materials (cotton, wood and shrimp shells), which were modified prior to be used to enhance their adsorption efficiency by grafting the carboxylic functions of the succinic acid anhydride and acrylic acid [cotton grafted with acrylic acid (C.A.Ac), cotton grafted with acid anhydride (C.A.S), wood grafted with acrylic acid (B.A.Ac) and wood grafted with anhydride acid (B.A.S)]. These changes can improve the performance of the media and increases the power to eliminate many pollutants, such as methylene blue (M.B).
