The effect of activated water degumming technique on alkali-pretreated banana fiber

There is a need for sustainable ways of processing plant fibers. Most chemical degumming methods pose threat to the eco-system because presence toxins during disposal. This study aimed find banana fiber with less harm environment. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and activated water were utilized softening fiber. Activated an aqueous solution electrolyte strongly oxidizing active substances prepared by electrochemical method. The alkali-pretreated immersed in refine results from show that further refined fibers down 39.7 µm diameter after NaOH pretreatment also achieved better whiteness at 74.7%. electrochemically solutions displayed promising effect removing lignin, hemicellulose, other impurities. this quality could be used spinning yarn textile applications. Various analytical techniques, including digital microscope, scanning electron Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, tensile test, test utilized. These tests confirmed on enhanced physical, chemical, morphological properties.
