Effect of functionalization on the adsorption capacity of cellulose for the removal of methyl violet

Musyoka, Stephen M.; Mittal, Hemant; Mishra, Shivani B.; Ngila, Jane C. (Elsevier, 2014-04)

In this research paper a comparative study has been carried out for the removal of methyl violet dye using unfunctionalized and functionalized cellulose. The functionalization was achieved through esterification of cellulose ...
Remediation studies of trace metals in natural and treated water using surface modified biopolymer nanofibers

Musyoka, Stephen M.; Ngila, Jane C.; Mamba, Bhekie B. (Elsevier, 2013)

In this study, remediation results of trace metals in natural water and treated water using three functionalized nanofiber mats of cellulose and chitosan are reported. The nanofiber materials, packed in mini-columns, were ...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption Kinetic Studies of Ethylenediamine Modified Cellulose for Removal of Cd and Pb

Musyoka, Stephen M.; Ngila, Jane C.; Moodley, Brenda; Petrik, Lesley; Kindness, Andrew (Taylor & Francis, 2011)

Surface functionalization of cellulose using ethylenediamine was performed to improve its binding capacity for Cd and Pb. Adsorption kinetics at pH 6.0 and 25°C revealed the Langmuir model to better describe the binding ...
