Tannin-immobilized cellulose (CT) hydrogels were successfully fabricated by homogeneous immobilization and crosslinking reaction via a simple method. The structures and properties of hydrogels were characterized by SEM and mechanical test. Methlyene Blue (MB) was selected as a cationic dye model, and the adsorption ability of CT hydrogel was evaluated. Tannins immobilized acted as adsorbent sites which combined MB by electrostatic attraction, resulting in the attractive adsorption ability of CT hydrogel. Adsorption kinetics could be better described by the pseudo-second-order model, and the absorption behaviors were in agreement with a Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption-desorption cycle of Cr hydrogel was repeated six times without significant loss of adsorption capacity. In this work, both tannin immobilization and hydrogel formation were achieved simultaneously by a facile homogeneous reaction, providing a new pathway to fabricate tannin-immobilized materials for water treatment.
