The study on cellulose modification with acetic acid to cellulose-acetate has been carried out. Cellulose is extracted from the kepok banana peel (Musa paradisiaca L.). Modified cellulose acetate was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and SEM-EDS. Cellulose acetate to removal of methylene blue with adsorption parameter include initial concentration (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 mg/L), pH solution (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) and contact time (15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 minutes). The peak of FTIR cellulose acetate obtained by functional groups -OH, C-H, C=O, and C-O esters. The morphology of cellulose-acetate has a more homogeneous than cellulose. Adsorption of cellulose-acetate on methylene blue optimum at an initial concentration of 90 mg/L, pH of solution 6, and contact time of 30 minutes. The adsorption kinetics corresponds to pseudo-second order and adsorption equilibrium corresponds to Langmuir isotherms with adsorption capacity of 42.107 mg/g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
