Cellulose-g-PAM Derived from Kenaf for Ethyl Orange Removal

Article Preview

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. There are additional peaks that appeared in FTIR spectroscopy analysis that show PAM was grafted into cellulose backbone. The flocculation behavior was studied by using ethyl orange wastewater. The result shows that hybrid flocculant (cellulose-g-PAM) has potential to be used as flocculant in treating dyes waste water.
