Functionalized Sawdust-Derived Cellulose Nanocrystalline Adsorbent for Efficient Removal of Vanadium From Aqueous Solution

Water quality degradation due to noxious heavy metals has become a serious concern because of its impact on human health and the ecosystem. In this study, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) derived from sawdust as a green renewable and sustainable resource was functionalized and used as adsorption media to...
