Functionalized fibers adapted to remove contaminants from water and soil are produced in accordance with a single-step process that involves treating an acrylic fiber with an amination reagent to form a functionalized acrylic amino fiber. By way of another single-step process, functionalized acrylic amino fibers are treated with an alkylating reagent to form functionalized acrylic quaternary amino fibers.
