Author(s): Swadesh Kumar and Yogesh Kumar Walia

Many Straws have been utilized as crude materials for the preparation of cellulose and methylcellu-lose. The basic attention in blend finished from straw is that it obtainable good fiber for different industries with special properties, and that it is the foremost accessible source of untreated raw materials taken from agricultural waste. Thepresenteffortwasto characterization of cellulose and methylcellulose prepared from wheat straw. The cellulose and methylcellulose prepared from wheat straw. Thecelluloseand methylcellulosereceived from wheat straw samples are illustrating with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. FTIR is the good techniques for studying changes by chemicals treatment. FTIR examination of cellu-lose samples showed downward moving in C-O-C stretching from 1151.15-1077.23cm-1 related to standard cellu-lose (SC). The cellulose samples showed upward movingofO-Hstretchingfrom 3945.56-3269.26cm-1and origi-nating moving in C-O stretching from 1458.28-1414.26cm-1vibrationsrelated to SC. The XRD analysis show that the cellulose and methylcellulose crystallinity index. Cellulose and cellulose derivativemethylcellulose are utilized as plausible encompassing substance which has wide applications.
