| Abstract |
In this work, water hyacinths, bagasse and rice straw were valorized to produce an innovative biopolymer. Serial step of extraction, bieaching and conversion of cellulose to be carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as well as the last step of blending and molding were performed. The CMC was mixed with tapioca starch solution by a ratio of 9:18, and a plastic sizer of giycerol was varied at 2%, 4% and 6% by volume. In addition, bioplastic sheets were further determined in their properties and biodegradation. The results revealed that bioplastics with 6% glycerol showed a high moisture content of 23% and water solubility was increased by about 47.94% over 24 h. The effect of temperature on bioplastic stability was found in the randes of 145.28-169.25 degrees celsius. Furthermore, bioplastic sheets with 2% glycerol could maimtain their shape. Moreover, for texture analysis. the highest elastic texture in the range of 33.74-38.68% with 6% glycerol was used. Moreover, bioplastics were then tested for their biodegradation by landfill method. Under natural conditions, they degraded at about 10.75% by weight over 24 h after burying in 10 cm soil depth. After 144 h, bioplastics were completely decomposed. Successfully, the application of water weed and agricultural wastes as raw materials to produce innovative bioplastic showed maximum benefits for an environmentally friendly product, which could also be a guideline for an alternative to replace synthetic plastics derived from petroleum. |
