Pembuatan Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Dari Pelepah Kelapa Sawit

Oil palm frond contain 40,96% of cellulose. Cellulose is the main raw material synthesis of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC). The purpose of this research was to determine the optimum conditions of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) synthesis from oil palm frond by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The synthesis of CMC consist of two steps, alkalyzation and etherification. In this research, t…
