RESUMO

Cellulose is a widely available biopolymer in nature and its draws considerable chemical interest due its various useful applications. The polysaccharide modification is primarily based on their hydroxyl group reactivity, which determines the carbohydrate chemistry and their related structures. The chemical modification of cellulose was carried out in a solvent-free procedure in which the cellulose was added to the molten anhydride. This procedure has not been previously reported in the literature. The degree of substitution was calculated from elemental C,H,N analysis results and acid group titration process and the results were 2.82±0.05, 3.07±0.05 and 2.99±0.07 mmol g for CelX (X=maleic anhydride (MA), succinic anhydride (SA) and phthalic anhydride (PA), respectively. The FTIR spectra of the materials showed band at 1717 cm assigned to carbonyl stretching frequencies of carboxyl and ester groups. Additionally, C NMR spectra of the materials showed peaks around 170 ppm related to the presence of carbonyl carbon, thus confirming the successful completion of reactions by adopted synthesis procedure. Analysis of TG and its derivative curve showed the relative thermal stabilities of materials up to 530 K. CelPA was degradable in the temperature range 459 ? 489 K with loss of benzoic acid. X-ray diffraction pattern of the materials indicated the cellulose structure remained intact under the rigorous reaction condition, which suggests the occurrence of reactions mainly at low crystalline and superficial regions. Meal adsorption capacities were for Co:1.75, 2.46, 2.43 and for Ni: 2.40, 2.46 2.26 mmol g, respectively, for CelMA, CelSA, and CelPA, respectively. Interactions of metal-basic centers were determined in a calorimetric titration process. The interaction resulted in an endothermic process with low enthalpy values. The positive entropy and the calculated Gibb?s free energy value indicated the spontaneity of the reaction process. In conclusion, all materials were prepared adopting an easy, rapid and solvent-free procedure, which confirms the requirements of a cost effective and industrial viable process. In additin, the method supports the principles of green-chemistry
