Abstract:

With epichlorohydrin as crosslinker and chloroacetic acid as carboxymethylation reagent, a cross-linked carboxymethyl cassava starch was synthesized and its absorption effects on Ca2+ were investigated. The results showed that the crosslinked carboxymethyl cassava starch can effectively remove Ca2+ from the aqueous solution, and the Ca2+ adsorption quantity is related to starch substitution degree, starch amount, initial Ca2+ concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature and pH value.

Key words: cassava starch, cross-linked carboxymethyl, Ca2+
