Cellulose is a natural linear chain homopolymer that is an abundant and common component in all plants. Partially pure depolymerized cellulose, known as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), is synthesized by mineral acids hydrolysis from α-cellulose precursors obtained from fibrous plants such as jute. Virgin soft and hardwoods are used as the main source of cellulose for raw materials of MCC production. These can be replaced by jute fiber to a great extent as it is considered one of the most promising alternatives. A proximate analysis had been carried out to determine the percentage of cellulose, hemicellulose, fats, and lignin in cellulose by standard methods. The cellulose purity of BJRI Tossa Pat-8 (Robi-1) fiber is identified from FT-IR. The IR results of MCC analysis were indicated 3,337.40cm-1 for the moisture and 1656.45cm-1 for carboxyl groups. In thermogravimetry analysis, at the first phase, 20-95oC is associated with moisture release. The oxidation of Tossa Pat-8 (Robi-1) MCC occurred in the range of 200-400oC. The remaining 0.65% of inorganic materials ash, was obtained at 425oC. This study indicates the cost-effective isolation of MCC from Tossa Pat-8 (Robi-1) and that can be promisingly applicable in several fields such as coatings and membranes explosives, cellulose, textiles, adhesives, films, textiles, food and tobacco, films, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, which needs further research.
Nowadays, Jute fabric is widely used in different decorative home textile purposes as a form of diversified jute products. In this study four types of samples were treated in different group to evaluate the physical parameters such as brightness level, FTIR, and shrinkage test. The use of jute fabric arises some problems during its multi-purpose of utilizes and in marketing process. This study will give clear results to know the physical test result performance of sample specimen of different types of jute fabric. To identify the characteristics of oil-stained treated fabric by different physical method, some jute fabrics were treated with different recipes of chemicals at different temperature, concentration and at different time interval. It has observed that Sodium carbonate exhibited comparatively better result (46.08).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
