Abstract

In this study, the synthesis of porous beads from corn stalks was carried out. The cellulose extracted from corn stalks was converted into cellulose xanthate and combined with alginate to form porous alginate-cellulose xanthate beads by the ionic gelation method. This study attempted to use sodium chloride (NaCl) as a porogen and zinc acetate as a crosslinker. Beads were characterized to determine the porosity, swelling properties, and functional groups using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR). The geometry of beads was analyzed by optical microscopy, and its surface morphology was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The results showed that corn stalks as agricultural waste material could be used to synthesize porous beads material. The swelling and porosity of beads increased with increasing concentration of NaCl. The presence of porogen has increased beads formation. The results demonstrate the crosslinks between zinc acetate and alginate were successfully characterized using FTIR. NaCl concentration of 9.5% resulted in the highest swelling properties (52.80%) and porosity (81.4%) of the beads.

Abstract

The cellulose content in water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) shows potential as an adsorbent medium in the management of heavy metal waste generated from laboratory activities. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) contains 60% cellulose which is rich in hydroxyl groups so that it can interact with metal ion adsorbate components. Water hyacinth adsorbent was modified using citric acid and its functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, and lactone) were analyzed using Boehm titration. The modified adsorbent was applied to laboratory waste and the levels of copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Water hyacinth adsorbent was characterized using a Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer to determine the active groups in the adsorbent. The FTIR results of the modified adsorbent showed that there was an absorption peak of the C=O ester group at wave numbers 1733-1734 cm-1 indicating an esterification reaction between cellulose and citric acid. Adsorption of chromium and cadmium metals had the highest percentage reduction at a dose of 2 grams of 98% and 37.40%, while for copper metal at a dose of 1.5 grams of adsorbent was 63.34%.
