A common method used to obtain cellulosic fibers is alkalinization with NaOH. Depending on NaOH content, treatments remove significant quantities of lignin and hemicellulose as small molecules. In biorefineries, where the preservation components needed, KOH may prevent chain formation. Here, we studied efficacy obtaining from jute using KOH. Jute are about 84.2% holocellulose, which corresponds 59.5% alpha cellulose 24.7% hemicellulose. To high fiber yields jute, effects pulping different...
Abstract The development of new biopolymers has been explored as an alternative to improve the biodegradability conventional synthetic plastics, such those used in packaging industry. Hemicelluloses are biodegradable polymers extracted from plants that, when combined with other polymers, polylactic acid (PLA), can be easily processed and satisfy mechanical requirements for commercial application. Thus, this work seeks a blend that combines hemicellulose PLA properties using solvent casting....
