used c-irradiation for the graft copolymerisation of acrylic acid onto wood pulp.
The parameters affecting the abilities of the grafted wood pulp for removing Fe(III), Cr(III), Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions were investigated.
The maximum uptake capacity was 7 mg g1 Fe(III), 7 mg g1 Cr(III), 4 mg g1 Cd(II) and 6 mg g1 Pb(II).
