In this study, magnetic cellulose was prepared and then functionalized by the grafting of glycidyl methacrylate and reaction with thiourea/amine [to produce grafted magnetic cellulose with thiol/amine (GMC-N/S)]. Thus, GMC-N/S as a nano-active adsorbent was investigated for the adsorption of Pt(IV) in a batch system. A response surface methodology was used to study the effects of four independent variables [Pt(IV) concentration, temperature, pH of the solution, and adsorbent dose] and to optimize the process conditions for the maximum adsorption of platinum(IV) from aqueous solutions by GMC-N/S. A high coefficient of determination (R-2=98.46) implied the adsorption of Pt(IV) onto the adsorbent in a valid manner, and only 1.54% of the total variable was not explained by the model. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the adsorbent (GMC-N/S) for Pt(IV) was determined to be 40.48mg/g.
