Study on Preparation for Super Absorbent Polymer Using Cotton Waste

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the purpose of recycling of cotton waste cuttings and exploring the prospect of preparation for super absorbent polymer (SAP), the high viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was made from cotton waste first and then the SAP was synthesized by grafting acrylic acid (AA) onto the CMC with the potassium persulfate being as initiator, N, N'-methylene bis acrylamide as crosslinker. The impact of polymerization temperature, time, initiator dosage, AA concentration, crosslinker dosage, and neutralization degree on water absorbency of SAP was studied. The optimum conditions are mass ratio of AA and CMC 7.11 g/g, initiator dosage 0.03 g/g CMC, crosslinker dosage 0.2 g/100g AA, neutralization degree 80% and polymerization time 1.5 h at 70°C of the polymerization temperature. The water retention of the polymer is good and the water absorbency reaches up to 702.5 g/g.
