The optimum conditions for grafting of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone onto alginate initiated by potassium peroxymonosulphate/glycolic acid redox initiator have been determined by varying the concentration of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, hydrogen ion, potassium peroxymonosulphate, glycolic acid, alginate along with time and temperature. Experimental results show that maximum grafting has been obtained at 0.1gdm−3concentration of alginate and 16×10−2moldm−3concentration of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. It has been observed that grafting ratio, add on, conversion and efficiency increase up to 5.0×10−3moldm−3of hydrogen ion, 2.8×10−3moldm−3of glycolic acid, 12×10−3moldm−3of potassium peroxymonosulphate and 40°C of temperature. A physicochemical phenomenon in terms of swelling, metal-ion uptake and flocculation has also been studied and it has been found that graft copolymer shows enhancement in these properties than pure alginate. Both, grafted and ungrafted samples have been characterized by FTIR-Spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.
