Optimizing Cellulose Extraction from Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus L.) Fiber by Selective Retting and Hydrothermal Pretreatment

This study investigated the effects of hydrothermal pretreatment on the properties of water and enzyme retted kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) fibers after treatment in a high-pressure reactor at 160, 180, and 200°C for 40 min. The retted fibers were characterized by chemical analysis, field emission...
