Isolation, modification and characterisation of cellulose from wild Dioscorea bulbifera

Article scientifique 2021 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract This study attempted to valorise wildDioscorea bulbiferayam presently known to be poisonous and inedible obtained from three sources. The functional properties as well as its chemical composition were determined and isolated. Isolated cellulose was modified by the actions of sodium hydroxide and maleic anhydride. The biomass, isolated products and modified cellulose were characterized. Results showed that the highest cellulose obtained was 82.6%. FT-IR results showed successful modification of cellulose with the presence of a carbonyl (C = O) adsorption band at around 1725 cm-1. SEM images and XRD data showed a clear decrease in crystallinity but a slight increase in crystallite size after modification of the mercerized cellulose. TGA results showed the polymers degraded between 284 and 414 °C. The study reveals that the modified cellulose has potential application as an adsorbent and industrial material.
