Chitosan-grafted nanocellulose derived from empty fruit bunch for ethyl orange removal
The objective was to reduced concentration of ethyl orange simulated dye wastewater. The cellulose nanofibrils were extracted from empty fruit bunch (EFB) using acid hydrolysis. These nanocellulose were grafted with chitosan by using microwave-initiated method. The nanocellulose, chitosan and grafte...

| description | The objective was to reduced concentration of ethyl orange simulated dye wastewater. The cellulose nanofibrils were extracted from empty fruit bunch (EFB) using acid hydrolysis. These nanocellulose were grafted with chitosan by using microwave-initiated method. The nanocellulose, chitosan and grafted flocculant were characterized using FTIR, FESEM and elemental analysis. FTIR, FESEM and elemental analysis confirmed that the chitosan has been grafted onto nanocellulose. UV-Viss used to obtain the dye concentration. It revealed that grafted flocculant is more efficient compared to nanocellulose and chitosan on the reduction of concentration for the ethyl orange. |
