A process for the production of dual-functional ion exchange resins from
lignocellulosic agricultural material involving anionization of the
lignocellulosic agricultural material with citric acid and then
cationization of the lignocellulosic agricultural material with
dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea (DMDHEU) and choline chloride, or
cationization of the lignocellulosic agricultural material with DMDHEU
and choline chloride and then anionization of the lignocellulosic
agricultural material with citric acid.
