Abstract
Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) grafted locust bean gum was made by microwave irradiation
technique using ammonium peroxydisulfate as initiator and N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a crosslinker.
The grafting conditions were optimized. The grafted gum was characterized using Fourier transform infrared,
thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscope techniques. Swelling behavior of the gel was
studied under different pH conditions. The grafted gum was evaluated for the removal of anionic dye “indigo
carmine” from aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption was found to be 35.12 mg/g gel, and the adsorption
data was observed to fit into Langmuir isotherm model.
