Title

A review on extraction and separation of cellulose fibers from agro wastes

Creator

Kariyadan S.; Umesh M.

Description

Over the past few decades, there was significant increase in research concerning resources that have certain desirable characteristics like renewability, ease of availability, economic value, excellent mechanicalthermal properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Cellulose is one such resource that possesses these characteristics and yet various sources that constitute ample quantities of lignocellulose are discarded, as their peculiarities and applications were not widely known to the population. Agro wastes, which are generated every year at a tremendous rate, are viewed as a promising substrate for the commercial extraction of cellulose. Hence in this review, an appropriate utilization of these agricultural by-products, with respect to extraction of cellulose is discussed, so as to ameliorate their applications in an aim to diminish the disposal rate of essential commodities. 2021 World Research Association.
