Abstract
Novel biodegradable flocculant based on hybridization of polyacrylamide with cellulose derived from kenaf (hibiscus Cannabinus L) has been successfully synthesized. The hybrid polyacrylamide-cellulose has been synthesized using a microwave-assisted grafting method. The hybrid polyacrylamide-cellulose was characterized using FTIR and the result revealed that the grafting was occurred. The performance of the hybrid polyacrylamide-cellulose has been tested on the arsenic removal. As a comparison, the removal of arsenic was also done using solely polyacrylamide. The results obtained showed that that the hybrid polyacrylamide-cellulose flocculant was comparatively as good as polyacrylamide in removing arsenic.
