The present work reports preparation of natural fiber, banana fiber, dye adsorbent by using pre-irradiation grafting technique. Banana fibers were chemically pre-treated with sodium chlorite solution to remove the lignin and used the fiber as trunk polymer. Monomer, Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), was grafted on pre-treated banana fibers by electron beam pre-irradiation technique and then followed by functionalization with imidazole to prepare the polymeric dye adsorbent. Dye adsorption test was carried out by using Acidic Blue 80 dye as modal dye. Grafting and functionalization were characterized by FTIR and SEM. Preparation of banana fiber adsorbent through radiation induced grafting was effectively carried out in this work.
