Characterization of Meranti wood Sawdust and Removal of Lignin Content using Pre-treatment Process

Meranti wood sawdust (MWS) is consisting of major components such as lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. The characterizations of MWS are important to determine the composition in MWS.The objective of this study is to characterize MWS and recover cellulose after pretreatment applied with the remov...
