Abstract

Surface chemistry plays a vital role in various industrial technologies such as chemical and energy conversion, health care, and material and environmental protection. This research investigated the surface properties and chemical constituents of unmodified and oxalic acid modified cassava peel waste powder (CPP) using standard methods. Results show that the surface chemical content were ash content: ash (0.82%), moisture (12.39%), sodium capacity (0.13 mMole/g), apparent density (1.29 g/cm3) and pore volume (0.78 cm3/g) for unmodified CPP while for modified CPP, the contents were Ash (0.55%), moisture (17.46% ), sodium capacity (0.10 mMole/g), apparent density (1.20 g/cm3), and pore volume (0.83 cm3/g) respectively. FTIR analysis reveals the major bands and their significance and showed existence of ionizable functional groups as follows: -OH was observed in the range of 3000-3700cm-1, from 600-1400cm-1 in the fingerprint range C=C, C=O and C=N bonds were suspected. All functional groups can take part in adsorption process through ion-exchange mechanism or complexation mechanism The CPP biomass had intense bands at 2924cm-1 indicating presence of amines (N-H) functional groups. The surface chemistry further revealed that cassava peel powder is an excellent potential biomaterial for diverse purposes.
