[Display omitted] •Cellulose, extracted from pine needles, was crosslinked with epichlorohydrin.•Crosslinked cellulose was converted to dialdehyde (CCDA) via periodate oxidation.•CCDA was investigated as adsorbent for Congo red via the Schiff-base formation.•Congo red removal was the highest at 60mi...
