Cellulose Extraction from Hardwood Waste of Resak (Vatica spp.)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cellulose is one of the most important natural polymers. The aims of this study are to extract and characterize the properties cellulose from local hardwood waste, Resak (Vatica spp.). There are two main stages in the extraction of cellulose at atmospheric pressure. The initial stage is delignification and second stage is bleaching process. At the second stage, the cellulose substance are bleached in two different bleaching medium; a) sodium hydroxide (NaOH), b) acidified hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Then, the cellulose properties of treated and untreated hardwood waste of Resak (Vatica spp.) were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).
