The sericin constitutes 20%- 30% of silk proteins and it covers the fibmin. Sericin is usually treated as impurity and removed during the process of degumming in dyeing and printing factories. However, sericin is a useful natural protein. In this paper, viscose auion-exchange fibers have been used to absorb seriein from waste water. The amount of adsorbed sericin into the viscose anion-exchange fibers at different temperatures and times has been studied. The study show that the anion-exchange fibers can adsorb sericin from the waste water. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption data show that the adsorption of sericin onto anion-exchange fiber fit the Freundlich isotherm at 25 1C and 50 ℃, and fit the Langmuir isotherm at 75 ℃.展开更多
