Abstract
The synthesis of graft copolymer [κ-carrageenan-g-N-(hydroxymethyl) acrylamide] is carried out in nitrogen atmosphere using potassium peroxymonosulphate (PMS) and glycolic acid (GA) as redox system. The effect of reaction variables including the concentration of N-(hydroxymethyl) acrylamide (4 Ã 10â2 to 36 Ã 10â2) mol dmâ3, PMS (4 Ã 10â3 to 20 Ã 10â3) mol dmâ3, GA (1.6 Ã 10â3 to 4.8 Ã 10â3) mol dmâ3, sulphuric acid (4 Ã 10â3 to 12 Ã 10â3) mol dmâ3, κ-carrageenan (0.6-1.8) g dmâ3 as well as time duration (60-180) min and temperature (25-45) °C has been studied. The physicochemical properties of graft copolymer synthesized have been performed in terms of water swelling, metal ion sorption and flocculation with respect to the κ-carrageenan as a parent polymer. The graft copolymer has been characterized by FTIR and thermogravimetic analysis.
