Abstract

Bead hydrogels were prepared from carrageenan-corncob mixture by physically and chemically crosslinking. The aims are to investigate the effect of carrageenan-corncob weight ratio and glutaraldehyde crosslinking on the swelling degree properties. The mixture of various carrageenan-corncob weight ratio (1:2, 1:1, 2:1, and 1:0) was dropped into KCl and CaCl2 solution and then the obtained bead gels was dried. The dried bead gel was crosslinked using glutaraldehyde 4%. The swelling degree behavior of the bead gels were tested in distilled water, 0.1M NaCl, and synthetic urine. The bead gels based on the mixture of carrageenan-corncob exhibited the hydrogel property. The highest swelling degree is carrageenan-corncob bead gels in the ratio of 1:0. The highest swelling degree is found in the distilled water and the lowest is in the synthetic urine. The 4% glutaraldehyde crosslinking does not show specific different results for carrageenan-corncob bead gels.

Abstract

Abstrak. Pada penelitian ini, matrik hidrogel berbasis karagenan dibuat dan diaplikasikan untuk mengontrol pelepasan urea. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari pengaruh konsentrasi glutaraldehid terhadap kecepatan pelepasan urea dan menyusun model kecepatan pelepasan urea. Film karagenan dimodifikasi secara kimiawi menggunakan ikatan silang atau crosslinking dengan glutaraldehid. Larutan karagenan 7 g/100 mL dicetak menjadi lembaran dan kemudian dikeringkan sehingga diperoleh lapisan film. Film direndam dalam larutan glutaraldehid dengan konsentrasi tertentu selama 2 menit dan dilanjutkan dipanaskan pada suhu 110oC selama 20 menit. Film yang dihasilkan dicuci dengan etanol dan dikeringkan. Pengisian urea ke dalam matrik film menggunakan metode difusi. Film kering direndam dalam larutan urea 0,074 g/mL selama satu jam dan selanjutnya dikeringkan. Kecepatan pelepasan urea dari film ke dalam media air dievaluasi berdasarkan data konsentrasi urea dalam cairan sebagai fungsi waktu. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa semakin besar konsentrasi glutaraldehid (1-5%) menyebabkan urea yang tersimpan di dalam film semakin rendah. Model matematika yang diusulkan dapat mewakili peristiwa pelepasan urea dari film. Film berbasis karagenan yang dihasilkan berpotensi sebagai matrik pengontrol pelepasan urea. Kata kunci: crosslinking, glutaraldehid, hidrogel, karagenan, urea. Abstract. Controlled Release Matrices of Urea from Carrageenan: Effect of Glutaraldehyde Concentration. In this study, carrageenan-based hydrogel matrices were prepared and applied for urea controlled release. The aim of this work was to study the effect of glutaraldehyde concentration on the rate of urea release in water. Carrageenan films were chemically modified by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The films were prepared by casting the aqueous carrageenan 7 g/100 mL and then followed by drying. The films obtained were immersed in certain glutaraldehyde concentration for 2 min and then heated in the oven at 110oC for 20 min. The crosslinked films were washed using ethanol and then air-dried until the weight is constant. The dried films were immersed in a urea solution (0.074g/ml) for 1 hr and then dried. The rate of urea release was determined by measuring the urea concentration in water as a function of time of release. Results showed that higher glutaraldehyde concentration (1–5%) produced films with less urea content. The proposed mathematic model of urea release from the film can represent the rate of urea release. The prepared carrageenan-based film has the potential for controlling of urea release. Keywords: carrageenan, crosslinking, glutaraldehyde, hydrogel, urea. Graphical Abstract

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Banana stem was identified as an attractive source of cellulose and a promising raw material for developing friendly bioflocculant hydrogels in water treatment. Polyacrylamide grafted banana stem cellulose (BS-g-PAA) was synthesized for flocculation application. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) and acrylamide (AA) amount on the grafting efficiency and flocculation performance of obtained BS-g-PAA. In this study, 1 g banana stems flour was mixed in distilled water, followed by the addition of AA at different weight (10, 15, and 20 g) and APS at various weight (0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 g). The mixture was grafted using microwave irradiation at 540 W for 60 s per cycle, repeated for three cycles (total 180 s). The sample was then dried using an oven until constant weight and ground to obtain BS-g-PAA powder. The results of FTIR showed that the successful grafting of acrylamide onto the cellulose backbone. The grafting percentage increased with the increasing of AA amount, from 1,008% at 10 g AA to 2,098% at 20 g AA. Ammonium peroxydisulfate from 0.1 g to 0.2 g increased grafting percentage from 980% to 1,008%. BS-g-PAA hydrogel prepared by 1 g banana stem, 0.2 g APS, and 10 g AA produced the most effective turbidity reduction by reducing the turbidity value from 53.3 NTU of kaolin suspension to a final value of 15.29 NTU after 80 s flocculation test. These results demonstrated that hydrogels derived from banana stems may have promising potential as sustainable bioflocculants for wastewater treatment applications.Keywords:Banana stem, Ammonium peroxydisulfate, Acrylamide, Bioflocculant, Microwave grafting
