REMOVAL OF RHODAMINE B BY PREPARED CELLULOSE FROM OIL PALM BUNCH FIBER Soe Mi Mi1 Zaw Naing2 Cho Cho3 This research work concerns with the preparation of cellulose from oil palm bunch fiber that is used as biosorbent for removal of organic dye. Cellulose was prepared from oil palm without fruit bunch fiber by chemical treatments. The lignin and hemicellulose were removed by bleaching process, alkali and acid treatments. The prepared cellulose from oil palm bunch fiber was characterized by XRD and FT IR analyses.The prepared cellulose was used as biosorbent for the removal of the model dye solution, Rhodamine B, by using various parameters such as initial concentration of dye solution, dosage of biosorbent, contact time and pH of the dye solution. The optimum conditions for removal of Rhodamine B were found to be 60 ppm concentration, 0.06 g of biosorbent dosage, 120 min contact time and pH of 6. The removal percent of dye was found to be 77.09 % at optimum conditions. 2022-12-31 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9367
