Research and development Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan pengaruh hidrolisis asid sulfurik, penguraian mekanikal dan penghomogenan bertekanan tinggi sebagai proses kimia-mekanikal berkesan untuk pengasingan selulosa nanofibril (NFC) berkualiti daripada gentian tandan kosong buah kelapa sawit (OPEFB).

Keputusan FT-IR menunjukkan bahawa lignin dan hemiselulosa telah dikeluarkan secara berkesan daripada selulosa yang diekstrak dan nanofibril. Analisis XRD menunjukkan bahawa peratusan penghabluran telah meningkat daripada gentian mentah kepada selulosa mikrofibril (MFC), tetapi penurunan bagi NFC adalah disebabkan oleh penceraian ikatan hidrogen.

The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of sulfuric acid hydrolysis, mechanical disintegration and high pressure homogenization as an effective chemo-mechanical process for the isolation of quality nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers. The functional groups and the crystallinity of all fibers were carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The morphology and thermal stability were investigated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), respectively. The FTIR results showed that lignin and hemicellulose were removed effectively from the extracted cellulose and nanofibrils. XRD analysis revealed that the percentage of crystallinity was increased from raw to microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), but the decreased for NFC was due to a breakdown of the hydrogen bond. The diameter size of the NFC determined was within 5 to 10 nm. The TGA analysis showed that the isolated NFC had high thermal stability. 2015-09 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/31868/ http://eprints.usm.my/31868/1/Ireana_Yusra_Bt_Abdul_Fatah_%28HJ%29.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Teknologi Industri
