Extraction of cellulose from sugarcane bagasse via ultrasonic-assisted alkaline technology

Ultrasonic-assisted alkaline (UAA) technology is applied to extract cellulose from lignocellulose biomass, sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The SCB a type of agriculture residue that consists about 50 %(w/w) content, thus potential serve as feedstock for production via UAA technology. Due the complex and sturdy structure lignocellulosic most current extraction processes in industry still apply multi-step involve chemical-mechanical technology, which time-consuming not eco-friendly. solve issue but details whole process are required its feasibility industry. performance investigated with varying parameters including ultrasonic amplitude (20%, 30%, 40%), treatment temperature (70 °C, 80 90 °C), potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration (0.25 M – 1.25 M). highest purity cellulose, 83.22 obtained at an 30 % treated °C under KOH condition M. extracted further reacted sodium monochloroacetate form carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), degree substitution 0.3624. yield proved promising, implying applicability more future works.
