Comparative Investigation of NaOH and KOH Treatments for Cellulose Purity and Polymorph Control in Pineapple Leaf Fibers: Crystallinity Changes and Electrochemical Impedance Signatures

Abstract A large percentage of pineapple leaves is now being disposed of as agricultural waste, but this biomass holds a lot of conversion potential to value-added products. This study systematically compares NaOH and KOH treatments for the selective extraction of cellulose micro...
