Study of the strength of lignocellulosic raw material fibers with HWE usingthe example of hemp (Canabis sativa L.) fibers

Abstract

: In order to develop the technology and adapt it to local needs, it may sometimes be necessary to adaptand adapt lignocellulosic materials such as (Canabis Sativa L.) to methods and techniques for modifying the rawmaterial. In the process of modifying the extracted materials, the lignocellulosic complex (LCC) of the rawmaterial is interfered with, in order to activate chemical compounds. After extraction, the most significant valueof the research being developed is that the post-extraction material will have a lower tensile strength improvingthe conditions for its extraction. The entanglement of materials in harvesting equipment is a well-known problem,while any method that facilitates hemp harvesting is highly beneficial. Hot Water Extraction (HWE) is being usedin the current study in order to characterize the hemp stalk before and after the extraction process. An analysis ofthe data will be performed on the prepared samples after they have been tested for strength. The study investigateshow the strength of raw material varies depending on the intensity of interference with the chemical compositionand structure of the lignocellulosic complex (LCC).
