Microwave-assisted solid-state pretreatment for fabrication of hemp fibres using ethanolamine at low temperature

Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Conventional methods faced challenges in pretreating natural cellulose fibres due to their high energy consumption and large wastewater drainage. This research devised an efficient solid-state pretreatment method for pretreating hemp fibres using ethanolamine (ETA) assisted by microwave (MW) heating. This method produced a notable removal rate of lignin (85.4 %) with the highest cellulose content (83.0 %) at a high solid content (30 %) and low temperature (70 °C). Both FT-IR and XRD analyses indicated that the pretreatment did not alter the structure of cellulose within the hemp fibres but increased crystallinity as the CrI increased from 84 % in raw hemp fibre to 89 % in pretreated fibre. As a result, it produced hemp fibres with impressive fineness (4.6 dtex) and breaking strength (3.81 cN/dtex), meeting the requirement of textile fibre. In addition, an improvement in glucose concentration (15.6 %) was observed in enzymatic hydrolysis of the MW pretreated hemp fibres compared to the fibres pretreated without MW. Furthermore, the FT-IR and NMR data confirmed that the amination of lignin occurred even at low temperature, which contributed to the high lignin removal rate. Thus, this study presents a potentially effective energy-saving, and environmentally sustainable solid-state method for pretreating hemp fibres.
