Abstract:Non-woven jute (NWJ) produced from carpet industry waste was oxidized by H2O2 or alkali-treated by NaOH and compared with water-washed samples. Changes in the structure of the NWJ, tracked by x-ray diffraction (XRD), showed that both chemical treatments disrupt hydrogen bond networks between cellulose Iβ chains of the NWЈ fibers. Thereafter, nano-carbon nitride (nCN) was impregnated, using a layer-by-layer technique, onto water-washed jute samples (nCN-Jw), NaOH-treated samples (nCN-Ja) and-H2O2 treated sample… Show more
