Abstract

Rice husk waste is one of the abundant lignocellulosic biomass sources in Indonesia and holds significant potential as a raw material for nanocellulose production. This study aims to isolate nanocellulose from rice husk through a combination of chemical and mechanical treatments to obtain a product with high crystallinity and nanoscale particle size. The isolation process involved several steps: alkali treatment using NaOH to remove hemicellulose, bleaching with H2O2 to degrade lignin, and acid hydrolysis using H2SO4 to eliminate the amorphous regions of cellulose. The resulting cellulose suspension was then subjected to ultrasonic treatment to further reduce particle size and achieve a more homogeneous dispersion, followed by freeze drying to obtain stable dry nanocellulose powder. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed changes in chemical structure, marked by the disappearance of lignin and hemicellulose peaks and the dominance of hydroxyl (-OH) and C-O functional groups, indicating increased cellulose purity. The nanocellulose yield obtained from this process was 38.15%, calculated based on the dry weight of nanocellulose relative to the initial dry weight of rice husk used. This value falls within the typical range reported for nanocellulose isolation using sulfuric acid hydrolysis and suggests that the applied method was effective in converting rice husk biomass into nanocellulose. The relatively high yield also supports the viability of rice husk as a sustainable and cost-efficient raw material for nanocellulose production. These findings demonstrate that rice husk waste can be effectively converted into high-quality nanocellulose through combined chemical and mechanical approaches, offering a sustainable and value-added solution for various functional materials, biodegradable packaging, and polymer composite applications.

Abstract

The annual increase in sugar factory production can lead to a yearly rise in bagasse waste. An alternative to minimize the increase in bagasse waste is to utilize it as nanocellulose. Bagasse contains 52.7% cellulose, 20% hemicellulose, and 24.2% lignin. The synthesis of nanocellulose was carried out using a combination of chemical and mechanical methods, namely acid hydrolysis and ultrasonication, resulting in a final yield of 39.96%. The FTIR spectra of raw bagasse and bagasse-derived nanocellulose showed changes indicating that the synthesis successfully removed non-cellulosic components such as lignin and hemicellulose. After the nanocellulose synthesis process, a small shoulder appeared at a 2θ angle of 14.5˚, indicating that the synthesis had successfully removed most of the amorphous structures such as lignin and hemicellulose. The nanocellulose from bagasse exhibited two diffraction peaks at 2θ angles of 16.2˚ and 22.2˚, which are characteristic of type I cellulose.
