Abstract
Agricultural wastes requires it’s utilization by the use of novel techniques. Lignocellulosic materials present in them could be utilized for various purposes. Nanocellulose could be synthesized from it. In this study, nanocellulose fibres from sugarcane bagasse were synthesized using sustainable methods and were ascertained by using microscopic techniques (scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy). The nanocellulose thus obtained was used in removing azo dye blue from water. Batch adsorption studies were conducted obtaining a removal efficiency of 75% dye removal in 2 h. Adsorption of dye molecules on the nanocellulose fibres were further visualized under scanning electron microscopy. Thus, agricultural wastes are renewable resources which could be utilized in removal of hazardous dyes from waste waters.
