Nano Crystal Cellulose Incorporated Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) Hydrogel for Industrial Waste Water Treatment
In this work, nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was extracted from raw oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber. The NCC microstructure was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Scanning electron microscope reveals the comparative surface morphology of raw EFB and NCC. The freeze-thawing cyclic...

| Summary: | In this work, nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was extracted from raw oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber. The NCC microstructure was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Scanning electron microscope reveals the comparative surface morphology of raw EFB and NCC. The freeze-thawing cyclic process was applied to fabricate NCC incorporated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (NCC-PVA) hydrogel . The aim of this work is to improve removal capacity of methylene blue (MB) dye from industrial waste water using NCC incorporated PVA hydrogel. The gel fraction NCC-PVA hydrogel is lower as compared to neat PVA hydrogel. The NCC-PVA hydrogel was applied to remove the methylene blue (MB) dye from industrial waste water. The NCC enhanced the dye absorption capacity of NCC-PVA hydrogel as compared to neat PVA hydrogel. |
