Synthesis of Grafted Cationic Starch with DMDAAC Using Ammonium Persulfate/Carbamide Initiation System

Abstract:

Using ammonium persulfate (APS)/carbamide initiation system, cationic grafted starch was prepared by the graft copolymerization of starch with diallydimethylammonium chloride (DMDAAC). The synthesized polymer was confirmed by FTIR, NMR, and XRD. And the morphology was characterized by SEM. The optimum conditions of graft copolymerization were determined and the flocculation properties of the cationic grafted starch were investigated using diatomite suspension. The obtained results showed that grafting ratio (G) and grafting efficiency (GE) have an increased trend along with the increase of mass ratio of starch to monomer. G, GE and cationic degree (DC) increased with the rise of mole ratio of AM to DMDAAC. When the total concentration of the monomers in the system is fixed, increasing APS concentration up to 0.33×10^-3 M caused a rise for the G, GE and DC. The optimum temperature and the time were 40 °C and 5 h, respectively. The result also showed that the cationic grafted starch has excellent flocculation performance whether in acid, alkaline or neutral conditions.
