SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTE – SUGARCANE LEAVES
2022
Cellulose Chemistry and Technology
"Sugarcane leaves are an abundant agricultural waste with the potential for use as a source of cellulose. Cellulose from sugarcane leaves was converted to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by carboxymethylation using sodium hydroxide and monochloroacetic acid in isopropyl alcohol. The yield of CMC was 212.16%. A degree of substitution (DS) equivalent to 0.79 was obtained during the conversion, indicating that the product was water-soluble. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed
