Investigation Of Cellulose Fiber From Banana Waste By Chemical Treatment

Nowadays, cellulose knowledge from natural plant is one of the major contributions to the new and advance product development since it has no harm to the environment. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) possesses the merits of cellulose which has a lots of potential to be used in all manufacturing area...

description Nowadays, cellulose knowledge from natural plant is one of the major contributions to the new and advance product development since it has no harm to the environment. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) possesses the merits of cellulose which has a lots of potential to be used in all manufacturing areas and various studies on the isolation of MCC from different sources using various procedures was held in order to define its characterization so that the potential of MCC as fiber phase in composite will be beneficial to user. In this work, fibres from banana pseudostem appear as an interesting source for cellulose fiber due to its readily available in Malaysia. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effects of chemical treatments over structural modifications on the fibre by hydrolysis analysis and mechanical treatment. MCC were determined through fiber chemical reaction which involves alkali treatment, bleaching and acid hydrolysis treatment.
