Popis: The graft copolymer of N-vinylformamide with alginic acid was synthesized by free radical poly- merization using potassium peroxymonosulphate and thiourea as redox pair in inert atmosphere. The optimum conditions for maximum grafting have been determined by varying the concentrations of N-vinylformamide, potas- sium peroxymonosulphate, thiourea, sulfuric acid, alginic acid as well as time duration and temperature. The grafting parameters increase up to the certain concentrations of N-vinylformamide, potassium peroxymonosulhate, thiou- rea, and hydrogen ion while thereafter grafting parameters decrease. The effect of alginic acid concentration on grafting parameters has been observed to decrease continu- ously. It has also been found that grafting parameters increase up to certain time and temperature, respectively, and thereafter decrease. The swelling properties of graft co- polymer in terms of swelling ratio and percent swelling are investigated. Flocculation property of pure and grafted sample for both coking and noncoking coals is also investi- gated for the treatment of coal mine waste water. The graft copolymer has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as well as thermogravimetic analysis. V C 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 121: 1400-1407, 2011
