Abstract
The agricultural biomass is an important and inexpensive source of cellulose and cellulose fibers. Therefore, many efforts are made to replace at least a portion of synthetic fibers with cellulose fibers obtained from plant waste materials. This paper presents the study of cellulose fibers extracted from plant agricultural biomass including: wheat, rape, rice, sunflower and flax straws. In this paper, the selected materials were treated by the very common method who include consecutive physicochemical techniques to remove non-cellulosic components such as pectic substances, lignin and hemicellulose, as well as to obtain cellulosic material with suitable structure and properties necessary for preparing cellulose micro- and nanofibers. It has been shown that the use of chemical treatment using sodium chlorite (NaClO2) as delignification agent, allowed the safe removal of non-cellulosic compo¬nents without degradation of the cellulose fibers. Therefore, an efficient utilization of such agricultural wastes is of great importance not only for minimizing the environmental impact, but also for obtaining a higher profit.
