Synthesis and characterization of oil palm empty fruit bunch- grafted -polyvinyl alcohol (OPEFB-g-PVA) hydrogel for removal of copper ions from aqueous solution

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fiber is a natural polymer which is potentially used as efficient adsorbents for heavy metal cations. The main objective of this research is to synthesize OPEFB grafted polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel by using ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator and gelatin as...
