Synopsis

This study focuses on cellulose extraction from palm leaves using two different processes with the aim of comparing the studied methods. Isolation was carried out through chemical treatments such as acid hydrolysis and alkaline treatment. The cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose content were determined through ADF-NDF analysis. The structural characterization of the two obtained celluloses was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal properties were analyzed through Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA/DTG), and morphological study was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
