“…40,41 The peaks at 822, 1091, and 1237 cm À1 were attributed to C-C-O, C-O, and C-C stretching, respectively. [42][43][44] Bands at 1704 cm À1 and 913 cm À1 were ascribed to a carbonyl group (-CO-O-) of the crosslinked PAA/ PVA and an O-H group of the carboxyl group in PAA, respectively. 45,46 Aer Cu(II) adsorption in synthetic solution and industrial plating wastewater, a new peak appeared at 1617 cm À1 due to the interactions between Cu(II) and carboxyl oxygen on the surfaces of the nanobrous adsorbents.…”
