Abstract

Microcrystalline
cellulose (MCC) was prepared from rice husk by subjecting it to alkaline
pretreatment, delignification, bleaching and hydrolytic operations. MCC was
also prepared from cotton wool and used as a reference because of its high
cellulose content to estimate a relative yield and quality of the MCC produced
from rice husk. The characteristic morphological feature was established by
scanning electron micrograph (SEM); the functional group was confirmed by the
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic method and the thermal
stability was determined from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and this
characterized MCC of rice husk was applied as a stationary phase in Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (PTLC).
