Pulsed Electric Field Assisted Extraction of Cellulose From Mendong Fiber (Fimbristylis globulosa) and its Characterization

ABSTRACT

In the present work, the properties of cellulose extracted from mendong fiber have been investigated. The experiments were conducted by two different methods to extract the cellulose from mendong fiber, which is extracted by alkali and alkali assisted by PEF. The cellulose was analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infra Red, Thermogravimetric Analysis, and compared with cellulose of commercial product. The morphology of cellulose after extraction was observed using both optical and Scanning Electron Microscope. The crystalline structure properties of cellulose extracted from mendong fiber assisted by pulsed electric field (PEF) were similar to the commercial cellulose.

在目前的工作中，从门东纤维提取纤维素的性质进行了研究。实验是由两种不同的方法进行提取的纤维素纤维从门东，这是由碱金属和碱土金属辅助的PEF提取。用x-射线衍射、傅立叶变换红外光谱、热重分析对纤维素进行了分析，并与商品纤维素进行了比较。用光学显微镜和扫描电镜观察纤维素提取后的形态。脉冲电场辅助门东纤维中纤维素的结晶结构性质（PEF）是类似于商业纤维素。
