Cellulose is widely used as an effective sorbent to treat wastewater. Cellulosic sorbents have the advantage of biodegradability, as they are natural plant-based materials, compared with the synthetic materials such as polypropylene (PP) or polyureth

In this work, rice husk cellulosic sorbents are produced by both chemical and biological pretreatment. The results indicate that the sorbent pretreated by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) contains up to 87.75% cellulosic conce
