Abstract
orthogonal array. The optimized cationic product with DS 0.28 showed promising results as a biopolymeric flocculant for wastewater treatment and as a wet strength additive for improving the physical strength of paper prepared from old corrugated carton for its recycling. The optimized product was characterized by advanced spectroscopic methods.
