Novel biodegradable polymeric flocculant based on Kenaf for heavy metal removal

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-cellulos...
