Swelling Behaviour of Starch-g-Acrylic Acid Hydrogel and its Potential Application in Removal of Rhodamine B and Alkali Blue Dyes

Abstract: Starch-g-acrylic acid hydrogel was prepared by free radical polymerization technique adopting potassium persulphate (KPS) as an initiator and N’N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a linking agent. The aim of the research is to inspect the potentials of starch-based hydrogel in remediating wastewater. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to find the formation of hydrogel while Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used for the characterization of t… Show more

“…However, due to the higher swelling capacity in KOH it shows that it's mostly used in hygiene. The ionic hydrogel is sensitive to ambient pH in acidic conditions, according to equilibrium swelling tests (Yahaya et al, 2021). The swelling emulated the degree of crosslinking of CMC hydrogel.…”
