摘要

Cellulose, an abundant biopolymer, is present in an extensive variety of materials derived from plants. At this time, waste management is the predominant subject of scientific investigation. Presently, the utilisation of phytochemical-rich plants is widespread. We conducted our research utilising Ocimum tenuiflorum leaves with just an eye toward the future. Acid hydrolysis was employed to extract cellulose from the leaves of the Ocimum tenuiflorum plant in the present study. The practical implementation of this study is particularly focused on the utilisation of unintended plant materials. In order to verify the cellulose that was extracted, FT-IR spectroscopy was utilised. The surface smoothness and quality of the cellulose were both elucidated by SEM. The size and crystallinity index determined by X-ray diffraction are 13.38 nm and 68.94%, respectively. As indicated by the differential thermogram curve, the highest temperature at which degradation takes place is 187.83 °C. The microparticles, which have a diameter of 10 to 20 µm on average, are identified by employing ImageJ. The surface morphology and allowable skewness of cellulose particles were assessed by means of atomic force microscopy. The yield and density of synthesised cellulose are 45.58% and 1.398 g/cm3 respectively. Therefore, by improving its properties, the obtained cellulose could potentially gain greater viability for future applications.
