Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Green Chemistry
  • Textile Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional natural fiber degumming methods are inefficient, energy-intensive, and environmentally harmful.
  • Purification of natural fibers like Firmiana simplex bark (FSB) is crucial for their industrial applications.
  • There is a need for sustainable and efficient degumming techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for the delignification of Firmiana simplex bark (FSB) fibers.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different DES formulations in degumming FSB fibers.
  • To understand the mechanism of DES-mediated degumming and its impact on fiber properties.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized various DESs using hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and hydrogen bond donors (HBDs).
  • Treated FSB fibers with different DESs to achieve delignification.
  • Analyzed fiber morphology, chemical composition, crystallinity, and physical properties before and after treatment.

Main Results:

  • Choline chloride-urea (CU)-based DES demonstrated superior degumming efficiency by disrupting hydrogen bonds and cleaving lignin's β-O-4 bonds.
  • Optimal degumming achieved at 160 °C for 2 hours using CU-based DES.
  • DES treatment significantly improved fiber quality and usability compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Deep eutectic solvents provide a novel, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach to natural fiber degumming.
  • CU-based DES is highly effective for delignifying Firmiana simplex bark fibers.
  • This study offers a sustainable pathway for enhancing natural fiber processing and applications.
