Preparation and Characterization of Carboxymethyl Sago Waste and its Hydrogel
Carboxymethyl sago waste (CMSW) was prepared under heterogeneous condition as the product of the sago waste and sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA) in presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The carboxymethylation of sago waste was optimized respect to degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (R...

Carboxymethyl sago waste (CMSW) was prepared under heterogeneous condition as the product of the sago waste and sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA) in presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The carboxymethylation of sago waste was optimized respect to degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (RE).

The concentration of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, which is used to activate the cellulose and starch was found optimal at 25 % (w/v). The increase of concentration of SMCA leads to an increase of DS, but only in certain extent, approaching a maximum value with anhydroglucose unit of sago waste: SMCA with 1:2.1 in molar ratio.
