Sugarcane bagasse is one of the by-products in the sugar industry which contains 60% of cellulose. Cellulose can be used as a matrix for biocomposite. The purpose of this research was to produce amine-functionalized sugarcane bagasse fiber magnetic nanoparticle biocomposites (SBB). The SBB was produced from sugarcane bagasse (SB) by solvothermal reaction. The SB was dried and blended into small size (±60 mesh), then lignin was removed with 1% NaOH (w/v) through the delignification. The biocomposites was made by adding delignified SB (SB-D) into a mixture of ethylene glycol, FeCl3.6H2O, and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) in solution, and then heated for 6 h at 200 °C. HMDA as an amine source was applied different concentrations (5, 7, and 9 mL). The surface morphology of biocomposites was covered by the magnetic nanoparticles along SB-D which contained amine of about 17.78 mmol/g. The Fe content of SBB was 98.34% which had specific peaks for magnetite at 36°, 43°, and 57° which were measured by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR) identified N–H bending vibration on SBB at 1640 cm −1 . The iron content and amine group on the surface may affect high adsorption capacity for a wide range of biological pollutants.
