Characterization of lignocellulosic fibres extracted from agricultural biomass: arecanut leaf sheath

TLDR
In this paper, long staple lignocellulosic fibres were extracted from the arecanut leaf sheath, an agricultural biomass, by using alkali acid.
Abstract
In the present study, long staple lignocellulosic fibres were extracted from the arecanut leaf sheath, an agricultural biomass. The arecanut leaf sheath (ANLS) fibres have been extracted by alkali ...
