Egyptian cotton cellulose fibers have been adapted by graft copolymerization of polyacrylonitril (PAN) and then by ingestion of amidoxime moiety to finally generate C-AXO chelating fibers, which have been characterized by various instrumental techniques such as SEM, FTIR, EDX and XRD spectra. Using batch tests, the obtained C-AXO is used for removal and extraction of VO2 + from its aqueous solution. The kinetic studies have shown that the pseudo second-order model is the best fit for the experimental data.
