Extraction of cellulose fiber from banana pseudo-stem using chemical pretreatment and ultrasonic

In this research, cellulose is extracted from banana pseudo stem by using chemical pretreatment followed by ultrasonic. Isolation of pure cellulose is difficult and different ultrasonic amplitudes and time affect the yield and properties of cellulose. The objectives of this study are to isolate cell...
