A series of hydrogel nanocomposites was fabricated by in situ polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) in presence of different amounts of (amine- and alkyl-modified) nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). Modification and nanocomposites properties were proved by different analysis methods such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The new hydrogel nanocomposites were applied for removing methyl orange (MO) used as anionic dye and presented in process water at different pH values. The effects of the fabrication process such as modification and content of NCC, contact time, and pH value on swelling ratio (SR), and equilibrium adsorption kinetics were studied. Results showed that the swelling ratio of PDMAEMA-based nanocomposites varied with the different types of nanoparticles showing the significant effect of the modification process. The MO adsorption into the hydrogel nanocomposites was affected by intermolecular and electrostatic interactions between functional groups of hydrogel and dye. The adsorption capacity decreased at high pH value, and it was significantly affected type of nanoparticles introduced into the hydrogel network. The addition of unmodified NCC did not affect adsorption kinetics significantly. Finally, adsorption kinetics was investigated by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models where pseudo-first-order model showed the best correlation with experimental results.
