The wheat straw cellulose-based hydrogels were synthesized by graft copolymerization followed by semi-interpenetrating network technology. The prepared hydrogels were characterized through various methods including Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption performances of hydrogels toward Cu(II) ions. The results suggested that the introduction of semi-interpenetrating network polymers, sodium alginate and poly(vinyl alcohol), could greatly enhance the adsorption property of hydrogels. And the wheat straw cellulose-g-poly(potassium acrylate)/sodium alginate hydrogel showed a highest Cu(II) ions adsorption capacity of 130 mg/g. The equilibrium isotherm and adsorption kinetics were also studied. Besides, the mass transfer coefficients and the thermodynamics of Cu(II) ions adsorption were also probed. Finally, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis further demonstrated that the Cu(II) ions adsorption was mainly via complexation reaction of NH2 and O-containing groups in hydrogels.
