A novel chelating fiber adsorbent was synthesized by reacting diethyl
iminodiacetate (DEIDA) with glycidyl methacrylate-g-poly (ethylene
terephthalate) fiber (GMA-g-PET) and then hydrolysis of the ester
introduced by 
for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from
aqueous solution. Various factors affecting the removal behaviour such
as graft yield, pH, contact time, and initial concentration were
investigated. The increase in the amount hydroxyl and iminodiacetate
groups on glycidyl methacrylate-g-poly (ethylene terephthalate) fiber
(IDA-GMA-g-PET) significantly improved the removal amount of MB. It
was observed that 100% of MB dye was removed by IDA-GMA-g-PET fiber in
45min contact time.
