In this work, a study was conducted on the isolation of cellulose from wheat straw using two different methods: acidified sodium chlorite and alkaline hydrogen peroxide. A comparative study was carried out based on the yield and properties of extracted cellulose. The final product (after treatments) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for the identification of properties. Both the treatments isolated pure white color cellulose. However, the yield of cellulose isolated through acidified sodium chlorite treatment (81.4) was higher than alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment (79). Moreover, no huge difference was observed in the crystallinity and thermal properties of extracted cellulose. © 2020 Umair Qasim et al. date: 2020 publisher: Hindawi Limited official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85102249018&doi=10.1155%2f2020%2f9765950&partnerID=40&md5=f49eb0fce7122859d9f3f063677f795c id_number: 10.1155/2020/9765950 full_text_status: none publication: Advances in Polymer Technology volume: 2020 refereed: TRUE issn: 07306679 citation: Qasim, U. and Ali, Z. and Nazir, M.S. and Ul Hassan, S. and Rafiq, S. and Jamil, F. and Al-Muhtaseb, A.H. and Ali, M. and Khan Niazi, M.B. and Ahmad, N.M. and Ullah, S. and Mukhtar, A. and Saqib, S.
