Abstract

The invention relates to the use of grafted celluloses, in fibrous form, particularly paper, non-woven web, flock, yarn, woven fabric, comprising quaternary ammonium functions, for eliminating humic substances and nitrates contained in natural water or industrial sewage. The grafted cellulose is for example obtained by radical grafting with the aid of a non-saturated monomer with quaternary ammonium function, particularly quaternized diethyl-amino-ethyl methacrylate. Its capacity is greater than or equal to 0.2 meq/g.
