Abstract

Extraction, treatment and characterization of banana pseudo stem fibres was achieved. The study revealed that water retting is the best way to extract fibers, however the gummy materials bending fibres together must be weakened by boiling the fibres rich material prior to retting where the fibres were able to be extracted at 14th day of retting. The fibers were treated using NaOH for scouring while bleaching was carried out using H2O2. The treatment of fibers was conducted to get rid of fat, wax and other impurities as well as undesired colors bonded to fibers that could not be removed through water retting. The best scouring concentration of NaOH was found to be 17.5 % while the best bleaching concentration of H2O2 was found to be 2 %. More so, FTIR was carried out for both treated and untreated fibers and it was shown that wax, fat and other impurities can be removed by fibres’ scouring and bleaching. This was further confirmed by the use of Soxhlet to extract ethanol-benzene extract from both treated and untreated fibres, where untreated fibres showed a considerable weight loss while the treated fibers did not show any weight loss. Thereafter, mercerization was carried out and it was found out that the best mercerization concentration of NaOH is 15%. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of the banana pseudo-stem fibers revealed that the fibers have, ethanol-benzene extractives of 4.2 %, pectin content of 3.07%, Lignin content of 18%, cellulose content of 68.3% and ash content of 4.2 %. The fibers showed a water, oil and vapor absorption of 71%,59 % and 8% respectively. Also, the thermal analysis showed that the degradation temperature is 370 0C while the fibers started to display thermal instability at 290 0C. Moreover, SEM and XRD analysis showed that the treatment of fibres participated in removal of wax and oil as well as other gummy materials, which also is in line with FTIR results obtained.

香蕉假茎纤维的提取、处理和特性分析--在纺织业中的潜在用途

对香蕉假茎纤维进行了提取、处理和表征。研究表明，水浸泡是提取纤维的最佳方法，但必须在浸泡前通过煮沸富含纤维的材料来弱化将纤维捆绑在一起的胶状物质，这样才能在浸泡第 14 天时提取纤维。处理纤维时使用 NaOH 进行冲洗，同时使用 H2O2 进行漂白。对纤维进行处理的目的是去除脂肪、蜡和其他杂质，以及纤维上粘附的无法通过水洗去除的杂色。发现 NaOH 的最佳冲洗浓度为 17.5%，而 H2O2 的最佳漂白浓度为 2%。此外，还对处理过和未处理过的纤维进行了傅立叶变换红外光谱分析，结果表明蜡、脂肪和其他杂质可通过纤维的冲洗和漂白去除。使用索氏提取器从处理过和未处理过的纤维中提取乙醇-苯萃取物进一步证实了这一点，未处理过的纤维显示出相当大的重量损失，而处理过的纤维则没有显示出任何重量损失。随后进行丝光处理，结果发现最佳的丝光处理浓度为 15%的 NaOH。此外，对香蕉假茎纤维的定量分析显示，纤维的乙醇-苯萃取物含量为 4.2%，果胶含量为 3.07%，木质素含量为 18%，纤维素含量为 68.3%，灰分含量为 4.2%。纤维的吸水率、吸油率和吸湿率分别为 71%、59% 和 8%。热分析表明，降解温度为 370 摄氏度，而纤维在 290 摄氏度时开始出现热不稳定性。此外，扫描电子显微镜和 XRD 分析表明，纤维的处理过程参与了蜡和油以及其他胶状物质的去除，这也与傅立叶变换红外光谱的结果一致。关键词萃取香蕉假茎纤维冲洗漂白丝光处理特性纺织品
