Wool graft polyacrylamidoxime as the adsorbent for both cationic and anionic toxic ions from aqueous solutions

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Wool graft polyacrylamidoxime (W- g -PAO) was synthesized using coarse wool as the raw keratin material. The W- g -PAO can be used as the cheap and excellent adsorbent for the removal of both cationic and anionic toxic ions from waste water. The approach can be extended to the modification of other waste raw keratin materials and used them as the blocks for the fabrication of functional materials.
