Abstract

Cellulose and its derivatives are important industrial raw materials because of their abundance, biodegradable properties, environmentally friendly, and have good mechanical and thermal properties. This study aims to determine the synthesis process and characteristics of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in the manufacture of hydrogels from pineapple leaf waste. The stages of the CMC synthesis process from pineapple leaves are carried out through the process of delignification, bleaching, alkalization and carboxymethylation. Cellulose modification was done by alkalization method using 30% NaOH and variation of temperature and time on carboxymethylation with monocloroacetic acid (MCA) in 2-propanol solvent. In the manufacture of CMC hydrogel was made by using calcium chloride (CaCl2) as a crosslink agent. The results showed that CMC from pineapple leaf waste had good quality with pH 6,0-7,5 and degree of substitution values ranging from 0,4-1,2. Carboxymethyl cellulose and hydrogel produced showed the presence of O-H, C-H and C=O functional groups. The presence of ATR-IR peak 1053-1104 cm⁻¹ in the bleached product confirmed the presence of β-(1,4)-glycosidic bond of pure cellulose, while the peak at 1500-1700 cm⁻¹ of the modified cellulose product confirmed the carbonyl group of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).

Abstract

The penetration of property business and technology has increased significantly increased due to economic improvement. One of the materials in high demand is cement board. Cement board compost of agricultural waste limits its application due to its easily absorbing water. Herein, we used the empty palm oil fruit bunch as a filler in cement board and coated it with polystyrene from styrofoam waste. The board shows good mechanical strength and fulfill the minimum requirement for cement board standard of Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The board also shows hydrophobic properties, and no water droplets permeate the surface even after 4 h. These findings open a new application for cement board not only for the interior but also for the exterior.
