Synthesis and Characterization of Hybrid Flocculant Kenaf Based

Abstract:

A novel hybrid flocculant of acrylamide and cellulose was synthesized by using microwave irradiation method. Cellulose was extracted from kenaf by using TAPPI method. 57.4% of percentage grafting and efficiency has been obtained from the grafting process. The hybrid flocculant properties were characterized by using FTIR spectroscopy, FESEM and elemental analysis. Additional peaks that appear in FTIR result, presence of nitrogen in elemental analysis and granular structure of PAM attached in fibrillar structure of cellulose proved that PAM was successfully grafted onto cellulose backbone.
