Application of coagulant obtained through charge reversal of sawdust-derived cellulose nanocrystals in the enhancement of water turbidity removal

Application of coagulant obtained through charge reversal of sawdust-derived cellulose nanocrystals in the enhancement of water turbidity removal

Sawdust-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were functionalized using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-Br) as a cationic surfactant to produce novel coagulant for application in reducing water turbidity. The modified CNC was characterized using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, x-r...
