A Strategy Towards the Valorization of Aloe Vera Rinds to Obtain Crystalline Cellulose: Pretreatment Effects and Elemental Analysis

Polymers, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 553 - 553

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

Although crystalline nanocellulose (CNCs) can be extracted from different resources, the employed pretreatments, which disrupt inter- and intramolecular physical interactions, depend on biomass sources. This study aims to valorize Aloe Vera (AV) rinds into cellulose (CNC) employing two approaches during hydrolysis: sulfuric acid (CNCSA) citric (CNCCA) after 30, 60, 90 min of reaction. The effects pretreatments hydrolysis time functional groups hydrogen bonding in are discussed. Crystalline structure (polymorph type), crystallinity, thermal stability, morphology, particle size, metal presence also analyzed. A transformation type I II polymorph was achieved, where intermolecular interactions governing were increased CNCSA almost maintained CNCCA. Properties based structure, properties, indicate that CNCSA30 CNCCA90 samples displayed potential application as reinforcement agents for other types polymers having no more melting points 160 220 °C, respectively.
