Abstract

In order to study the properties of cellulose-based aerogels obtained from different dissolution systems, cotton cellulose was dissolved in four kinds of dissolving system including NaOH/urea/H2O, NaOH/thiourea/H2O, ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl) and 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride salt (AMIMCl). Additionally, the obtained cellulose-based aerogels were characterized, and the adsorption performance to chlorate ions (ClO3?) were studied. The results showed that the crystal structures of cellulose-based aerogels transforms from type I into II. The aerogels obtained from BMIMCl solvent system gives lower crystallinity a thermal stability than those from the other solvent systems, whereas it possesses higher specific surface area, total pore volume and smaller average pore size, and higher adsorption performance for trace amount of ClO3? in aqueous solution.
