Evaluation of structural, physical and chemical properties of cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose extracted from pruning palm trees wastes
The increase in population has led to the production of large amounts of agricultural wastes that pollutes the environment. Today, the use of agricultural wastes to extract cellulose and nano-cellulose is increasing. In this study, cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose were extracted from three types of palm waste, including fibers, leaves and palm clusters and used to identify cellulose and compare it with pure cellulose SigmaAldrich from devices using FTIR, TGA and XRD. Cellulose extraction yield was measured at 25% in palm fibers, 20% in green leaves and 33% in clusters. The FTIR and XRD spectra of isolated cellulose was similar to pure cellulose and the degree of crystallization was in order of leaf > fibers > clusters. The loss of weight for all cellulose samples in TGA charts at 350 oC was similar to that of pure cellulose and the nanoparticle length range of these cellulose was determined by the FE-SEM electron microscope 20 to 36 nanometers.
