Isolation and regeneration of cellulose fiber from sugarcane bagasse

Sugarcane bagasse is the by-product obtained after sucrose extraction from sugarcane plant. However, the remaining bagasse is disposed and resulted in environmental pollution. Sugarcane bagasse has high proportion of cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses. Sodium hydroxide used to remove lignin and...
