The Influence of Natrium Hidroxide Concentration in Celluloce Synthesis from Rice Straw

Abstract

Celluloce synthesized from rice straw by using a simple and an efficient method. After extracted with toluene and n-hexana, rice straw powder were dilute in a various concentration of natrium hidroxide (1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%) and heated to 800 C for 5 hours. Celluloce was synthesized succesfully in presence of natrium hidroxide 7% with the yield 34.26% and presence lignin 0.15%. The IR spectra shows that the O-H binding at 3400 cm-1 and C-H binding at 2900 cm-1 are the charateristic of celluloce
