Abstract

In this study nanocellulose and carboxylated nanocellulose of Hybrid Napier CO5 grass and Desmostachya Bipinnata grass were prepared and used as an adsorbent for water treatment. Conventional acid hydrolysis was used to extract cellulose from Desmostachya Bipinnata grass and green eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide bleaching method and meghamite as catalyst was used to extract nanocellulose from hybrid napier CO5. Catalytic conversion of Hybrid Napier CO5 green grass CMF to nanocellulose involves a one pot synthesis carried out by the cleavage of beta 1,4 glycosidic bond within the cellulosic network. Maghemite (ϒ-Fe2O3) has shown to be a good catalyst for the conversion of CMF to nanocellulose wherein depolymerisation of cellulose occurs. Scanning electron Microscopy (SEM) images showed the needle like CNC and rod like CMF indicating the formation of nanocellulose. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the amorphous region was eliminated during acid hydrolysis which led to more crystallinity in CNC than CMF. Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FT-IR) showed the chemical composition of raw and modified nanocelluloses, which were identical but quite different from respective raw samples. FT-IR and XRD confirms the formation of nanocelulose of hybrid napier after the treatment with the catalyst. Both the modified fodder grass nanocelluloses have shown good adsorption efficiency towards the adsorption of Evans blue dye. The prepared adsorbents are recyclable with good adsorption efficiency.
