Abstract
Rice husk and sugarcane bagasse are biomass waste by-products of agriculture activities. High cellulose content makes them a potential material to develop. Biomass utilization is more interesting to develop due to its high cellulose content and nature abundance. Cellulose from rice husk and sugarcane bagasse is utilized as fiber in producing magnetic biocomposites. The Biocomposites can adsorb Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions. A one-step solvothermal reaction was used to synthesize biocomposites. The amine functionalization on biocomposites was also studied for adsorption performance. The magnetic particle was generated on the surface of fiber and verified by XRD as Fe3O4. Amine group on biocomposites is also found on 570 cm-1 and 1636 cm−1 peaks for Fe-O bonds and N-H bending, respectively. Batch isothermal adsorption employing magnetic biocomposites has optimal conditions for Cu(II) ions adsorption at pH 5 for 60 minutes, with an adsorption capacity of 118.26 mg/g. The reusability of biocomposites for the next run showed a good performance at 3rd repetitions with only a decrease in adsorption capacity of 8.81%. The rice husk and sugarcane bagasse-based magnetic nanoparticles biocomposites can adsorb Cu(II) ions and potential material to develop for wastewater treatment.
