Sugarcane bagasse, a waste material, was treated with sodium hydroxide to remove lignin. Various tests showed that the treatment increased the internal surface area of the material and weakened its structure. The chemical analysis revealed a high carbon content of 60.59%. HPLC identified an organic compound called schaftoside. XRF analysis showed that untreated bagasse contained mostly water, followed by sodium and sulfur. After treatment, the concentrations of these elements decreased. The study suggests that using sodium hydroxide is better than acidic solutions for processing sugarcane bagasse for industrial applications.
