Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is modified cellulose extracted from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEF biomass waste that has been prepared through etherification using sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA) in the presence of sodium hydroxide. In this research, CMC hydrogel was prepared using calcium chloride (CaCl2) as the chemical crosslinker. Throughout the optimization process, four important parameters were studied, which were (1) CMC concentration, (2) CaCl2 concentration, (3) reaction time, and (4) reaction temperature. From the resul
