Cellulose was extracted from rice husk (RH) using an integrated delignification process using alkaline treatment and acid hydrolysis (concentrated HNO3) for lignocellulosic biomass dissolution. Cellulose yield and quality were assessed through analysis of lignocellulosic content, thermogravimetric, functional group, X-ray diffraction, and surface morphology. HNO3 treatment showed an increment (2.01-fold) in the cellulose content and some enhancement in the crystallinity of cellulose (up to 40.8%). A slight increase was observed in thermal properties from 334.6 degrees C to 339.3 degrees C. Economic analysis showed chlorine extraction produce higher cellulose recovery (58%) as compared to HNO3 (26.7%) with the total cost of operation using HNO3 was double compared to chlorine extraction. The economic feasibility of HNO3 can be improved using various progress in the pretreatment process, chemical recycling and cellulose recovery process since adopting it is crucial for environmental sustainability.
